They may not wear capes, but our fire crews are our superheroes each and every day, whether they’re putting out fires, on a rescue mission or helping out in the community. They are dedicated to protecting the public. FFTOB- The Original Firefighter Turnout Bags®- turns fire gear into fashion. The super-durable purses, backpacks, totes and duffel bags are made out of recycled firefighter turnout coats and pants. FFTOB has been so successful that they are launching their new Probie line this month, after appearing on Shark Tank.
The Probie is a budget friendly option for those looking to add some FFTOB favorites to their closet. Carefully crafted from the same fabric firefighters wear every day to keep them safe, the Probie bags include an authentic patch to signify the authenticity and craftsmanship that went into each and every piece, so you can stay stylish while showing your respect for our everyday heroes.
FFTOB all started when owner Niki Rasor was asked by her firefighter husband to remove a pocket from his coat. Once she plucked the pocket from his coat, she couldn’t bare the thought of throwing it in the trash. So, with a pair of her husband’s old suspenders, she added them to the pocket and created a bag. Little did she know, this was the start of something special. From her garage to a warehouse to shipping Firefighter Turnout Bags all over the world, Rasor has designed over 100 styles and mastered a line of high quality, custom bags. The more she learned about the gear, the more determined she became to recycle it, keep it out of landfills, and make beautiful bags that not only represent firefighters – but give back to them as well.
FFTOB recycled bags are the perfect way to honor those brave men and women who risk their lives to protect yours. Carry a deep, proud history wherever you go with handmade, unique bags, backpacks, duffle bags and more.
