Story

Our Story—A Brand Inspired and Curated by Real-life Urban Dweller Travvo was founded in 2019 by Elisa Chan and David Yan on the mission to curate technical apparel of finest quality and functionality to celebrate the passion of life and the artisanal spirit of unparalleled craftmanship. Each collection signifies a simple desire to design great products for people who value performance, comfort and versatility. Travvo is inspired by real-life urban dwellers. We create to celebrate your passion of life with you —that’s what we do.


From Idea to Action. From Theory to Practice.
Being a lifetime traveller who love to explore new places whenever possible, Elisa has found it more difficult than it seems to track down an adaptable jacket that is thoughtfully designed yet reasonably-priced fit for travelling. Such frustration has prompted her to start seeking the opportunity of making the perfect jacket in her mind. After twelve months of research, in the early spring of 2019, the first prototype of our “Urban Trek Jacket” was born.

 
Elisa knew that she needs a reliable partner to put the idea into action. She knew just the right person — David Yan, who operates a production facility with workers trained for decades to deliver premium quality at global standard. David has extensive knowledge and diligent experience in manufacturing. They both value quality over quantity and both want to curate high-performance products to prove that utility and fashion do not necessarily come with a ridiculous price tag. The pursuit of Travvo’s uncompromised quality is now in the trusted hands of David, who has given valuable opinion to enhance the prototype in terms of fabric selection and garment construction.

After Elisa and David developed the “final” sample they both loved, they spent another 6 months in finding real-life urban dweller around the world to try on. They listened to all reviews and made some final adjustments on the jacket. “We are constantly listening — Travvo cultivates a community of real-life urban dweller who share the same passion and love for life. Our products respond to people. They feature what people want in real-life, we are only here to collect those ideas and make them possible.” said Elisa. Everyone could contribute to our next product’s success. Our goal? To make sure every single opinion is heard. At Travvo, we promise you will be heard. Join our community to bond with other urban dweller around the world.
