Day Owl is a Pittsburgh-based retailer that designs and sells a backpack intended to support people pursuing a wide range of goals. The bag blends durable materials, including waxed canvas, genuine leather, and water-repellent neoprene, and it comes with free lifetime repairs. As a B Corporation, Day Owl adheres to high social and environmental standards and supports dignified employment both globally and in its home city, with local workers contributing to design, prototyping, and repairs.

The backpack is positioned for everyday use by individuals who need reliable, versatile gear rather than a flashy look. The company has broadened its impact through partnerships, such as a 2021 collaboration with the Pittsburgh Promise to provide backpacks to 1,600 sixth graders, and a 2022 initiative with CoolPerx to produce a backpack from 100% recycled plastics collected in developing countries. Day Owl maintains a small, locally grounded team to carry out these activities.
