You can do it all, but not alone and not perfectly
DEB WATERMAN JOHNS
Our goal is simple.
Help women accomplish more by designing fashionable, durable, and colorful products that organize and delight.
SCOUT was co-founded by Deb Waterman Johns and her husband Ben Johns in 2004. A working mom of four (plus multiple dogs), Deb needed large, sturdy, affordable totes to carry all her family's stuff without getting weighed down.
The bags she and Ben needed didn't exist, so they made them.
From our LifeProof fabrics to our perfectly placed pockets, we want to prepare our customers with everything they need, in one bag. Our products are durable, lightweight, and easy to clean. We call it pretty utility. Our position in the market is unique. We win with function first.
Through the lens of her well-trained eye, Deb finds inspiration everywhere she turns, including her global travels, fashion trends, and her own life. Our talented team of artists work collaboratively with Deb to interpret her designs, creating hundreds of limited-edition patterns each year.
The Achiever Mom: we know her, we love her, we are her.
She loves achieving at work and being able to keep her family happy. She wants to appear polished and put together while doing it all.
For herself, she wants trendsetting patterns to set her apart. For others, she is the ultimate, thoughtful gifter.
In her spare time, she is improving and organizing her home.
Our brand continues to be a favorite of the media and have increased impressions year over year since founded in 2004 - doubling our impressions each year since 2021.
"The Mary Poppins of Beach Bags... it's the only beach bag I've used in years"
"SCOUT's reusable gift bags are the smartest thing you'll buy this season"
"They clean with ease, fold flat, and fill fellow shoppers with major envy!"
"SCOUT Bags are like the Jennifer Anistons of the beach bag world - timeless, beautiful, and wildly popular."
