This week, we celebrated something truly special 😍 HuddoCo’s very first birthday 🎂 One whole year since we shipped our first order 📦🎒
What started as an idea, inspired by the simple frustration of not being able to find a baby bag that was both stylish and functional for our family’s travels, has turned into a brand that’s now enhancing parent’s journeys around the world 🌎 One year ago, we launched HuddoCo’s hero product, the Anywhere Backpack and its sidekick products making up the Anywhere Travel Bundle, products designed to make life on the go with little ones simpler, more organised, and a lot more stylish.
The First 12 Months: Our Highlights
- Our Launch: We introduced HuddoCo to the world and watched our first customers fall in love with the Anywhere Backpack🎒
- Across the World: This year, HuddoCo bags travelled everywhere, from long-haul flights with newborns to beach holidays, ski trips, and everyday park runs. Seeing your photos and stories of HuddoCo bags in action around the globe has been the best gift of all 📍🗺️
- Community Love: Our community has grown to thousands of parents who share the same passion - seeing the world through their little one’s eyes. From your DMs to your reviews, every word of support has meant the world 💌
- Recognition: In just one year, HuddoCo has appeared on the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, Condé Nast Traveller, and the Australian Business Journal, and been recognised in national and international awards celebrating innovation and design, something we never imagined would happen so soon ✨
A Sell-Out Success
The love for the Anywhere Backpack has been beyond anything we could have hoped for and on our birthday, we became officially sold out of both our Anywhere Backpacks and Anywhere Travel Bundles, a pinch-me moment that still doesn’t feel real 🥹
Pre-orders are now live, with the next shipment due to dispatch in mid-November, just in time for summer holidays and Christmas travel ✈️ (If you’ve had your eye on one, now’s the perfect time to reserve yours 🛒).
What We’ve Learned
Building a business from the ground up hasn’t been easy. There have been late nights, steep learning curves, and moments of doubt, but also joy, pride, and the incredible feeling of seeing an idea turn into reality and help other parents. If there’s one thing we’ve learned this year, it’s that parents are always looking for products that make their lives easier, and we’re proud that HuddoCo has become part of that solution 🫶🏼
Looking Ahead
As we step into our second year, we’re only just getting started. We have new products on the way (including one we can’t wait to reveal very soon 👀) and our mission remains the same: to create premium, sustainable, and functional products that empower parents every day and when they need it most.
To our community, thank you. Whether you purchased your first HuddoCo bag, shared your travel stories with us, engaged with our content, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, you’ve been part of this journey. HuddoCo wouldn’t be here without you 💕
Here’s to many more adventures together ✈️
