The Stuff of Life Can Be a Burden or An Opportunity
I always thought my twin boys were the original packrats. One day, while making my way through the trail of their scattered possessions, I realized they come from a long line of collectors. So, armed with a degree in art, countless years of sewing experience, and inspiration from two kids with bulging pockets, I launched CBHstudio and its’ line of Little Packrats animal-inspired accessories.
The word got out and the popularity of “the original 3-D backpack” spread from our backyard across the globe. We held on tight to our “Made in the USA” motto, calling in a 100-year-old cut and sew facility here on the east coast. Selling direct to consumers like you allows me to continue to produce Little Packrats accessories here in the USA and sell them to you with a little bit left over to pay for Milo’s dog food and some college tuition. (Oh, yeah, those “little packrats” that inspired our backpack-making venture grew up and want to be engineers.)
I love my business because it gives me a way to help others balance the burden of lugging life’s stuff around. It may sound philosophical, but it is practical. Plus if I can do anything to make someone else’s day a little easier and a lot brighter, than I’ve really accomplished something that makes my mother and my kid’s grandmother proud.
