Brand creates travel gear to celebrate kids of color, owned by a Black person.

Over half of all children in the United States are children of color, yet representation in the world of travel gear for children has been lacking. That's why Dutchess and Duke has set out on a mission to revolutionize kids' travel products.

The company specializes in creating high-quality backpacks, luggage, and travel accessories that represent children of diverse backgrounds, including African-American, Hispanic, Asian, Biracial, and Multiracial demographics. Kelie Charles, CEO of the company, said, "At Dutchess and Duke, we are on a mission to bring diversity to kids' travel products. We want children to be excited to have luggage that reflects them. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to feel seen and represented in the products they use."

To make this a reality, Dutchess and Duke has released its inaugural line of products. It includes backpacks, luggage, and travel accessories based on fun characters that represent children of all backgrounds. From Zora, the aspiring doctor, to Grayson, a superhero in training, there's a Dutchess and Duke character for every child to connect with.

Charles further added, "Dutchess and Duke is more than just a company. It's a community of inclusivity that connects over shared travel experiences and a vision of inclusivity. Our mantra, 'Are We There Yet?', is symbolic of both the eager traveler and our broader goal of global acceptance."

All of Dutchess and Duke's products are available now on its website at DutchessandDuke.com. The company's mission is to ignite a sense of unity and acceptance in every adventure, a goal that is especially important in today's climate.
