2024 has been our biggest year yet. Scroll down to read some of our hero moments…
We kicked the year off with an exciting partnership with our friends at Forest. We teamed up to give Forest riders the chance to win a Roll Top every day throughout January, and 30 free minutes of riding time. We set out to make your commute easier, more comfortable, and better for the planet. Keep an eye out this January for another round of giveaways!
We were thrilled to welcome Rob Wylie, founder of Osprey Europe, as our new Chairman in February.
As soon as we met, we knew Rob would be a great fit for Stubble and shared our vision to inspire people to Do More. His knowledge and experience have been invaluable and have already transformed aspects of Stubble. We can’t wait to show you the exciting projects we have been working on…
We also added some amazing new colours to our Product Range: Yellow and Midnight Blue. Yellow is designed to help you stand out and be bold, brightening up your journeys.
Midnight Blue offers a versatile option to elevate your everyday carry. It's perfect for taking on whatever the day (or night) throws your way and nobody could have predicted how much you would love this colour… We have struggled to keep this in stock! Make sure you’re signed up to our mailing list to be notified when it's back.
One of the highlights of our year was getting to meet members of our community, face-to-face at the Runna Mental Health Marathon! We had a blast running the Bag Drop and meeting the amazing attendees - your grit and determination were inspiring.
We also ran a ‘Spin the Wheel’ where everyone had the chance to win a Stubble & Co bag. This event reinforced why we do what we do- create products that make a difference to your every day and enable you to Do More. We're grateful for the opportunity to engage with you all and be a part of such a meaningful event.
The exciting events continued throughout the summer as we had the opportunity to host a Bag Drop with Friday Night Lights in Battersea Park. These events are all about running for fun, with like-minded people. They are filled with colourful lights and big speakers, creating an energetic festival atmosphere. We ran the Bag Drop at three of these events, with some of our team getting involved and running with everyone!
We also brought back the popular Spin The Wheel, giving away more bags and prizes to those taking part. We look forward to more opportunities to meet even more of you next year!
This summer, we teamed up with the amazing team at Moth. Together, we created a limited-edition insulated Crossbody bag that was the ultimate companion for all your summer events. This bag was designed to keep your drinks perfectly chilled for up to 5 hours, no matter how high the temperatures. Whether you were hitting the beach, going on a picnic, or heading to a festival- our Moth x Stubble & Co Crossbody was the coolest accessory of the season.
Our bags made a statements as a festival essential, spotted on celebrities, influencers, and festival-goers alike.
The Crossbody, Shoulder Bag, and Kit Bag proved to be the perfect companions for the weekend, offering a blend of practicality and style. Designed with function in mind, our bags kept hands free for through busy crowds and dancing. Whether for festivals, weekends away, or everyday adventures, our bags continue to deliver functional and fashionable solutions.
Our iconic Roll Top was given an upgrade this year, giving our best-seller new features to make it even better.
Firstly, we added a functional trolley sleeve, so you can slide your Roll Top onto your suitcase and breeze through the airport. We also made our zips more durable than ever before and improved the waterproof abilities of our materials. The chest strap is now fully adjustable, and our new air-flow back panel ensures that you can carry your essentials with ease no matter where you go.
This year also marked the introduction of many game-changing, new products that have quickly become your favourites. The Hybrid Backpack 30L, which has sold out an incredible three times since its launch- our new best seller.
We even travelled to New York City for our first-ever photoshoot in the US. The experience was made even more memorable when we ran into some of our customers during the shoot – a surreal moment to see your support on the other side of the world
We also unveiled the Stubble Essentials range, our collection of smaller accessories designed to make travel and daily life more organised and efficient. Explore the range designed to elevate everyday.
And for those who have been with us from the beginning, we had a special surprise in store: the re-launch of one of our first-ever bags, the Weekender Duffel 30L. We've given this classic design an upgrade, improving both the materials and functionality to create a bag that's even better than the original.
For the first time ever, you can now find Stubble & Co products in physical stores! We're thrilled to be partnering with some incredible retailers across the UK. You can now find us in:
One of the most memorable moments of the year was our team fun day, where we had the opportunity to spend quality time together outside of the office. We kicked things off with a spin class, then had lunch together and finished off the activities with a (surprisingly competitive) round of mini golf. This day perfectly encapsulated what makes us who we are as a company – a passion for staying active, a love of exploring and trying new things, and a deep appreciation for the incredible people who make up our team. It was a testament to the strong culture we've built and our values, and we look forward to many more unforgettable moments together in the years to come.
Thank you for being a part of our incredible journey in 2024 – we couldn't have done it without your support, and we can't wait for the years to come.
