Knomo – The brand 
Pronounced with a silent ‘k’, Knomo gets its name from combining the two words ‘knowledge’ and ‘mobility’ – the main two factors that this British born brand is known to put into every design. Knomo’s story began in 2004, when three friends who were busy trying to climb the corporate ladder couldn’t find a bag to keep up with their hectic lifestyles. Bog standard laptop cases all seemed to be bulky, hard to move around and just downright unfashionable. Noticing a gap in the market for laptop cases which kept up with technology, fashion and with you – Howard Harrison, Benoit Ruscoe and Alastair Hops started their own range. The Knomo company was launched.
Setting up base in west London, Knomo got its first glimpse into the retail industry when a discerning buyer at Selfridges took notice of the brand that was keen to make a difference. Knomo began stocking at Selfridges and today has gone on to be sold in over 500 stores in 22 countries. Their global success is all down to their visionary aesthetic.
Starting off with their revolutionary laptop cases, Knomo has evolved alongside technology. Paying attention to their core base of tech-savvy consumers, Knomo knows that laptop cases need to come in all sizes and styles – for sleek Macs, mini notebooks and everything in between. Detachable sleeves, portable cases, and a high fashion look – Knomo’s laptop bags are one of their biggest sellers. But the brand hasn’t stopped there. A demand for travel luggage and accessories followed with their success, and as new gadgets like iPods and iPhones launched, Knomo was already on their cusp, providing solutions for consumers seeking unique ways to protect and carry their electronics.
Knomo’s bags aim to be an extension of your life, superbly designed and crafted - their extensive range of accessories are all about making things easier for you.
