Alpine Sea Co. — Local services in Hood River

These bags are THE BEST. I bought the ASc 25 L and my partner bought the Bagpack 15L (that converts from backpack to carrybag), and are in love with them!! They are incredibly versatile, aesthetically pleasing, and comfortable to wear. I adore the minimalist outside design without zillions of frilly straps that hang and can get caught on stuff. I use my bag for work and for travel, and can fit more than necessary. It also has a secret vertical pocket for water bottle, so smart!!! No more water bottles that fall out when bending over and get dinged up! I like that the laptop compartment is outside and easily accessible so I don't have to fuss open up the inner compartment; and because it's external, doesn't interfere with spacing when inserting a laptop/binder/papers etc (unlike bags that have it internally, and might hard to shove in a laptop when it's stuffed). 11/10 stars, please support...

I stumbled across this place on the map while searching shops in downtown Hood River, and boy am I glad that I did! I stopped in and was warmly greeted by Robert, one of the owners and designers, and he made me feel right at home in the store that he co-owns with his wife. The shop is beautifully curated with a wide selection of thoughtfully-designed bags, totes, backpacks, purses, and pouches. The silhouettes of the products are sleek, creative, and composed of sturdy materials with clean lines. To say that I wanted to walk out with one of everything is an understatement. I could have browsed here for easily an hour before coming to any conclusion as to what I'd like to take home with me. I am very impressed with both the products and their design, and the business's style and warm atmosphere despite its cool, modern design. Thank you Alpine Sea Co. for a great experience! I...

I recently traveled to Hood River Gorge and found an amazing shop for bags, purses, travel gear. It’s worth browsing and you won’t leave empty handed. The products are made on site and the craftsmanship is outstanding. The bags are versatile and textiles will withstand weather & kids, alike! I purchased the bagpack- a bag that can be converted to a backpack. The couple that started the business are on site and...
