When you're choosing gear for your daily commute, weekend adventures, or meal prep routine, you shouldn't have to compromise between style and sustainability. That's exactly why we're excited to carry Black + Blum in our shop.
Design That Actually Works
Since 1998, Black + Blum has been creating products in their London studio with one clear mission: make everyday moments special through thoughtful, timeless design. What draws me to this brand isn't just their clean aesthetic—it's how every detail serves a purpose. Their lunch boxes, water bottles, and travel cups are built for real life, whether you're commuting to the office, prepping meals for the week, or heading into the backcountry.
I use the large steel food box as my mess kit when I camp. It's compact enough to pack easily, durable enough to handle trail life, and lets me eat my meals from a single container without the bulk of traditional camping cookware. That's the Black + Blum difference: simple, effective design that just works.
Sustainability Built In
In 2014, Black + Blum shifted their focus toward solving two of the biggest environmental challenges we face: food waste and single-use plastics. Their products aren't just reusable alternatives—they're designed to transform how we think about food and drink on the go.
There's another layer to their sustainability approach that I really appreciate: versatility. When your work mug doubles as your camp mug, you don't need to own multiple products for different parts of your life. That kind of thoughtful design means less consumption, less waste, and more value from what you do own.
But they don't stop at the product level. Black + Blum donates 1% of sales to charities fighting food waste. It's a tangible commitment that goes beyond marketing speak.
Their philosophy is rooted in honesty and simplicity: create functional, sustainable products that help people live healthier, more fulfilled lives. That authenticity is exactly what I look for when choosing what to stock.

Elegant Gear for Everyday Adventures
What I appreciate most about Black + Blum is how their products fit seamlessly into your everyday. The same lunch box that carries your meal to work on Monday can hold trail snacks on Saturday. The vacuum flask that keeps your morning coffee hot also keeps your pint cold after a summer hike. You don't need separate gear for work and play—these are versatile tools designed for repeated, lifelong use, not things that end up in a landfill after a season.
Since 1998, Black + Blum has stayed true to their vision of transforming everyday moments into extraordinary experiences. For us, that philosophy aligns perfectly with why we curate the gear we carry: to outfit your everyday and outdoor life, adventure more, and do it all with less environmental impact.
