Oh the Scout bag...where do I start? I purchased my first scout bag at the Container Store in Little Rock, AR quite a few years back. Since then I have purchased an even larger tote and storage box for the back of my SUV. They are cute, extremely durable and so unbelievably useful.
Here is a cut & paste of their back story. As you will see over time, if I can just cut and paste the "about us" stuff I will. No need to reinvent the wheel.
When telling the SCOUT story, it’s best to start with the inspiration
behind our name. Our Creative Director Deb loved the name “Scout” ever
since she was a kid and read Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Years
later when Demi Moore and Bruce Willis named their own daughter after
Lee’s narrator, Deb decided instead that “Scout” would be the perfect
name for the Johns family’s wire-haired Dachshund.
It was with Scout and Deb’s mother’s words (“We know God has a sense of
humor because he invented the Dachshund”) that Bungalow brought the
name ‘SCOUT’ into its brands, with the tail-wagging Dachshund as its
icon. Just as Scout suggests in our logo, the brand centers on the idea
of an ‘on the go’ lifestyle… Wherever you’re headed – be it on vacation,
to a game, to a party – SCOUT’s right there to support your busy life.
The original idea for SCOUT bags came from the plaid polywoven ‘commodity’ shopping bag used by street vendors to transport their merchandise; we then located a version of the same plaid polywoven bag in a high-end boutique in Milan that, in comparison, had that ‘high-fashion’ finish of a leather bottom and handles – this was the inspiration behind the Original Deano tote! We’d found our niche for functional, fashionable, affordable totes, and SCOUT was born. Presently we feature 400+ new products throughout the year, with a smaller collection of gift items available in the winter.
