SCOUT – Brand + Customer:

SCOUT was co-founded in 2004 by Deb Waterman Johns, a former Vogue editor and busy mom of four, who saw a need in the marketplace for stylish, functional, affordable bags to match her and her family’s on-the-go lifestyle. Today, SCOUT enjoys a loyal following of modern women ranging in age from 18-54 years old who comprise four distinct personas. Our primary focus is the high-achieving working mom seeking the most current trends to set her apart. She’s well-educated, hard-working, adventurous, socially conscious, and cares about supporting brands that give back. SCOUT has become her go-to resource by providing the products she needs to contain, organize, and carry all the stuff she needs to successfully navigate her busy life.
