Preppi

We all know we need an emergency kit, but none of us wants to do the legwork of putting one together. Enter Preppi, the Los Angeles-based brand started by Lauren Tafuri and Ryan Kuhlman in 2014 that takes safety seriously but also cares about meaningful design. Items include packs crafted from fire-retardant and water-resistant aluminum canvas with bridle-leather accents; as well as heavy-duty metal-framed bags made from water-resistant canvas (monogramming is available) that are shaped like backpacks or doctor’s bags, all of which carry a lifetime guarantee. Many are filled with enough supplies for two people for three days, including water, food bars, a whistle, Malin + Goetz toiletries, a solar-powered phone charger, a multitool knife, a first aid kit and more.
