K&B bags: from Montreal to the mountain!
Wednesday morning, 9 O’clock. You show up at work with two backpacks; your laptop is in one of them, in the other, you packed your ski equipment. From 9 to 5, you are in production mode. From 6 to 10, you are carving the slopes. Because, well, that’s the way you roll!
K&B has been designing and creating bags for the whole family at an unbeatable value since its foundation in the late 90s by Karine Bargadi and Louis Blanchard. The idea was born when Louis - who regularly visited ski resorts - noticed how athletes carried their equipment. Ski boots and helmets were strapped to the outside of the bag, swinging back and forth as they went. The inspiration for the first model was there. The ancestor of the Slick adult boot bag, the Racer, was designed to meet both athletes’ and amateurs’ needs.
During the first three years of their existence, K&B dedicated their efforts to designing and developing this one bag. The kids’ boot bags were next, followed by the ski bags and the other models to compose the current range. In 2020, Bugatti, based in Boisbriand, bought K&B to help them pursue their mission – to meet the needs of active people.
Innovating and offering durable products are their top priorities. The Quebec-based company K&B has evolved over the years to meet the highest standards. From ski bags to the legendary boot bags, K&B makes getting to the local mountain or travelling out West a breeze. Trust K&B to transport your alpine ski or snowboard equipment safely!
