"Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality." - Robin Sharma

 

Welcome to DVRGE!

The only line we toe is the start line! We believe in self-expression through sports, travel, and design. Our mission? To create gear that helps you focus through your toughest challenges and transformational journeys. Change is at the heart of our ethos. 

As you may have heard, our very first product, a fresh new backpack, is hitting the market! But how did we get here? Let’s dive in and get you up to speed. What started as a personal frustration nine months ago (though truly years in the making) evolved to concept designs, technical drawings, multiple rounds of prototyping, and a recent factory visit.

Our first samples were thoroughly tested by the team. In fact, one of the backpacks went on an epic vacation around the world - traveling over 30,000 miles across 5 countries and 3 continents.

A few months after testing, we had a list of changes and jetted off to Asia to meet our factory partners. It was a quick trip, but meeting in person made the collaboration more productive and engaging. The design specifications were then updated, and another round of samples was kicked off in February. We are expecting the new samples to arrive any day now! (As we finalized this update, our samples arrived on time.)

While our sample makers were hard at work, we’ve been just as busy building the content and marketing plan to get the campaign started. Development of marketing content (videos and photos) is planned for next week. If all goes smoothly, we aim to kick off our pre-campaign by mid-April. Fingers crossed!
