About SCOUT Bags

Twenty years ago, when (celebrity stylist and former Vogue editor) Deb Waterman Johns and husband Ben Johns—working parents raising four young kids in Washington, DC—couldn’t find large, sturdy, affordable (cute!) totes to schlep all their family’s stuff without getting weighed down... they made them. SCOUT was born. Today, SCOUT offers a complete lineup of bags, coolers, accessories, and home storage solutions that combine fashion, function, and affordability. In fact, everything’s under $100, making SCOUT a favorite for gifting. Season after season, loyal customers eagerly await the release of new original, limited-edition patterns reflecting Deb’s bold style (when they’re gone, they’re gone forever). Seasonal patterns are complemented by classic stripes and checks, and our iconic, fast-growing STATEment collection celebrating U.S. destinations. Designed by women, for women, every SCOUT product is built to last, delivering function and fashion with life-proof fabrics and trendsetting patterns that bring joy for years to come. As Deb likes to say, “Everybody’s got stuff. SCOUT gives them the best place to put it.”Read their story
