PHILOSOPHY
Back in the days there was no production of a thing like school bags. Children used to carry their books in hand or some tied them with belt, the only bags used were for hiking, camping and alpine purposes invented by Garry Outdoor in 1938.
Sensing the dire need of school bags he went onto create the first lightweight bag made in nylon in 1967. Further, canvas and leather forms started doing the rounds with a single strap.
In 1967, Jan’s' Sport opened its first shop which led to the invention of millions of school bags used by the kids today.
