J. Stark is a wife-and-husband team of makers setting out to create timeless, beautiful carry goods—backpacks, totes, wallets, duffles, crossbody bags, and more—in Charleston, SC. We make everything in our sunny, hybrid workshop/retail space, and we let the bustling crowds that stream past the space guide our new designs and push us forward. It’s long been our mantra to just stay out of our own way. We want to make things that people want to carry. So when enough folks request something we aren’t making, we try to find a way to fit it into our line. We produce clean, sturdy items, and we never put a pocket where a pocket doesn’t belong. Because simple yet functional is, in our minds, perfect. We listen to good music. We eat a lot of ice cream. We make really nice bags.
