Vendor Spotlight: Cotopaxi

May 17, 2023

Last time you stopped by Forests, Tides & Treasures in the Seward Small Boat Harbor, you probably couldn't help but notice the colorful displays of bags, coats, and fleece jackets from one of our favorite vendor partners, Cotopaxi.

We love Cotopaxi and especially admire their commitment to making their communities a better place to live. Cotopaxi founder, Davis Smith, grew up in Latin America where he saw first-hand the hardships that resulted from unequal access to opportunity. Smith looked to create a business model that was geared towards community support but also had a low impact on the planet. From this idea, and his passion, Cotopaxi was born. Today,  Cotopaxi prides itself on being active in communities across Latin America with a special focus on those that are under-served and under-represented. 

Today, Cotopaxi is all about GEAR FOR GOOD® – they’re B Corp certified, carbon neutral, sustainably made & repaired, and people-minded, which means there’s even more to love about their stand-out products.

The most popular Cotopaxi line, Del Día, are bags made using only repurposed fabric, meaning each pack is totally unique. The Del Día line includes everything from 42L travel packs to fanny packs, so you’re bound to find your perfect color combination in a size that speaks to you. 

We are also big fans of the Teca Fleece Jackets, which come in both women’s and men’s sizes. These are made from recycled and repurposed materials and feature pops of Cotopaxi signature colors. The Teca Fleece Jacket is an every-season essential in Alaska, no doubt! 

We’re proud to carry Cotopaxi both in-store and online here at Forests, Tides & Treasures, and we’d be thrilled to help you find the Cotopaxi product that best suits your lifestyle. Stop in to talk to us about the full Cotopaxi line or feel free to shop our collections available online. We can’t wait to see what you choose!
