When Jacqueline Tattelman and her husband, Scott Tattanman, set up a non -profit summer camp for hundreds of children growing up in New York -administered palaces in 2009, they were not yet aware that this experience would lay the foundation of a big business that would lay the foundation for a big business: State bag.

“The first couples of the summer, (Campers) were carrying their luggage in the camp with the holes,” says Tatelman, “” We knew that many of them were coming with everything they had at a distance of a week, and they were looking forward to the foster care, the interim housing, the other.
Tatil Men’s began giving back bags to the camps, many of which will immediately move their luggage to a new bag and fill them with a school supply from the couple’s supply shop, with types of donations offered by brands such as bombs and kind snacks.
“Since then, we have developed a lot on The Side, so now it is for every state product sold, we donate to the families of American children and needy, but in the ways they need the most, which allows us to give a lot and give us much bigger programs,”

State bags, which were formally launched in 2013, have increased the brand of $ 1 million in the past years and pushes their payment commitment, which includes donation of fully packbags and funding projects with partner Charites and schools.

The brand was financed by 2021, when it collected a round of 2 million seeds. Since then, the state has not taken additional funds for external funds.
The state launched an era when it seemed that the unicorn companies that were interrupted were receiving traction left and right.
Of course, usually the truth is anything but. Tattelman says it is difficult to make “a beloved brand (with whom) to follow a sect”, “let’s navigate the logistics 19 and run out about running a business.
“You really have to understand the importance of profit and stability and what actually takes the company to run the company,” Tetelman explained. “Many people who start the brands are dreamers, and they are passionate because they are creations, but they need to know a lot. It requires a level of patience, intensity and grace that is out of the body.”

For the first seven years in the state’s business, Tattan saw himself as one of these creations, so he hired CEO to run the company. However, years later, the brand building – and with a unique approach to its founder – she realized that she could serve her as the former leaders did not have. In 2020, Tattleman stepped in as CEO.
Five years later, the state has become a “full lifestyle family bag brand” with permanent development.
The reason for the recent development and success of the Tatilman state is attributed to the expansion of its category, which began shortly before the CEO’s role.
After “market ownership” in children’s back bags, the state recognized a similar price for children’s travel, making life easier for their parents – and the product is given the state’s full treatment.
“We like to take it completely upset.” Like how we take this dinosaur product and make it ridiculous, so colorful, so beautiful. Each piece is an art work, but it also has incredible utility, functionality, quality and all the things you want to use (to use). (Product Extension) We completely burst. “

But Tattalman says how much does not look for the year and its development, she always feels grateful to look at a brand bag on the road, and is recently related to the “sect” of the brand.
“People will write me like this, I am putting my alarm“Says Telman.” I like, Are you placing your alarm for launch day? Over time, since our customer knows that we sell so fast, especially from these crazy products (out), they are hungry for the new collection. Years year, it gets crazy and crazy. I still can’t believe it is real for the state. “

The state has changed a lot in the past years, but it never conflicts with its original mission and vision – and it is a rule that any aspiring businessman should be kept in mind when it comes to starting a business.
“You have to have a vision for it,” says Tatelman. But, at the same time, what is the vision, and do you love it? Do you have a dying passion for him? Because if you don’t, you break.
