Kibou was founded by friends Nell Shapiro and Stephanie Merks. Living in New York City and having to walk everywhere, the two moms longed for a wearable diaper bag that could hold all of the essentials without being cumbersome. And just like that, Kibou was born. Nell and Stephanie spent the next two years developing a deliberately minimal diaper bag that can be worn on your waist, is made from sustainable and cruelty-free materials, and helps you find exactly what you're looking for without endless rummaging.
