The evolution

Before the brand, there was a sandy pocket.

The Trezur Bag idea predates the company. The first version grew out of collecting at the beach with kids, then changed repeatedly through use, feedback, selling, manufacturing and new seasons.

The first problem was ordinary.

Beach finds went into pockets. Sand came home in those pockets. Plastic bags were awkward for young kids and could rip or drag. The solution became a small fabric bag with a mesh bottom, drawstring and attachment point.

Important distinction: the first prototype dates to late 2012. The Trezur Bag brand and market era came later; current product artwork carries “Est. 2017.”
