The Eko Story
Striving to do good at every stage of the process.
Our main vision at Eko is to have a positive impact on the world by doing good at as many stages of the process as possible.
​
Founded in 2020 when everything seemed a little bit strange and uncertain, we wanted to create something stable, that would stand the test of time whilst doing some good.
​
Eko focuses on simplicity and allows anyone and everyone to use and enjoy our product. Whether you are a student, professional or maybe travelling around the world, our product is great for all.
​
"Partnering with others who are making a difference helps us to think beyond ourselves."
At Eko we are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of those around us. For us, we want to impact not only the lives of those involved in our designing, manufacturing, tailoring and production of our products, we also want the ripple to keep on going further. That’s why we have partnered with Flourish NI as we love the work they have been doing to support those affected by human trafficking.
​
We want to be thoughtful and take our time with each design and product we create. Which is why our backpacks are made from recycled materials, meaning we are not using virgin materials and are preserving the planet.
​
We are also dedicated to planting a tree for each product purchase made through our chosen organisation. We want to involve our customer in this process and will continue to do so with each product we create.

The story continues…
At eko, we are more than just a brand—we are a community. We invite you to take eko with you, wherever you go. For many, eko represents a taste of home, a reminder of community, a connection to a place, a person, or a feeling that resonates no matter where you are.
Much like echoes that travel and return, eko aims to make a meaningful impact as it moves. But it all starts with you. When you choose eko, you bring your unique story along. Whether you’re traveling across the globe, visiting your local café, joining a run club, or gathering with family, take eko with you. That’s our core philosophy at eko: go! The details will fall into place, but the first step is to take action.
We are committed to making a difference through our partnerships with various charities. By supporting these causes, eko strives to positively impact the lives of those we are passionate about helping. Ensuring the longevity of our business is crucial for us, as it allows each member of the eko team to continue to support their personal passions and causes.
For our Managing Director, Ben, this means witnessing how business and employment can transform lives. He is dedicated to investing in people around the world who have big visions for their communities. By striving for a better life and making impactful changes, these individuals inspire us and drive our mission forward.
Do you see the ripple effect? That’s what eko is all about. When you purchase our products, you contribute to making a difference, and a wealth of others benefit as well.
Simply put, eko is just the beginning of the ripple. Where it goes next is up to you. Start the ripple—go with eko.
Thank you for believing in our journey and joining us along the way.

Lots of love,
Jon, Ben, Lu & Cal x
