Loll designs is the brain child of Bloomington Minnesota natives Tony Ciardelli and brothers Dave and Greg Benson. They started a company called TruRide a skate park design and construction company that built handmade skateboard park ramps all over the country. Needing more space they relocated to West Duluth in 1999. In 2006 the Loll design company was formed using skate side park material and the Loll Adirondack chair was born, which now has grown to 150 products in 110 US locations. The company now primarily uses material from recycled and reclaimed plastic milk jugs. Not only are the designs incredibly cool and functional, but environmentally friendly too.

I love the philosophy of Frost River deeply rooted in the history of our forefathers working and surviving in the Northwoods. The pride and care that is put into each bag is something you cannot compare, from the brass buckles to every stitch and seam or rivet, these bags are built to last and pass down for generations.
