ABOUT BANGSTA
It all started with a paddle and a mochila (What's a mochila?).
ABOUT BANGSTA
Bangsta was created by a designer-turned-pickleball-junkie who found the perfect balance of movement, competition, and good energy through the game. Gyms were too crowded, runs got boring, but pickleball hit just right. Early days meant keeping it simple — paddle, water, towel, keys — all carried in a traditional Colombian mochila. It looked good, felt right, but needed durability to handle Florida’s unpredictable weather. That’s when the idea struck: reimagine the mochila as a stylish, functional crossbody bag for pickleball players who pack light and move fast.
THE BAG THAT DON'T MISS
We make all our products in-house. The Bangsta Bag is 100% handmade in small batches — no mass production. Just me and a tight crew bringing this idea to life across two countries I love. I may not be Colombian, but Colombia has been like a second home for years. I’ve spent a lot of time there, and I wanted that spirit woven into every stitch. This is a family business, run out of our home here in Florida. My wife and I manage it all ourselves — with a baby in the mix now, it’s even more real. Every order, every email, every design — it all goes through me. That’s not a slogan. That’s a promise.
