About VESSEL
LUXURY GOODS. CRAFTED FOR THE DRIVEN. FILLED WITH PURPOSE.
At VESSEL, we believe in passionately supporting brands, professionals, athletes and all those in pursuit of their purpose. We believe that everybody has a purpose. It is ours to create products that help you fulfill yours.
Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, VESSEL got its start in 2012 by handcrafting custom golf gear for tour professionals. Quickly, we became known for our detailed craftsmanship and intentional designs. Every feature fulfills a purpose - every detail offers an elevated experience. While honoring our craft, we noticed the gaps between functionality and style in items like work bags and travel accessories. This became our motivation to create premium performance goods across LIFESTYLE, TRAVEL, TENNIS and of course, GOLF as VESSEL continues to be the choice of carry for hundreds of tour professionals.
