The Brand TOBAGO
In 1990, I invited some major retailers on a cruise through the Caribbean islands. As we passed the island of Tobago, the idea came to me immediately: the three letters BAG in toBAGo were perfect for our musical instrument bags. When I returned from the trip, I finalized the logo I had envisioned with our graphic design team. The lettering style we used symbolizes travel. This is how we began using this slogan in France: "Les voyages sont plus beaux en Tobago".

TOBAGO Armadillo
Why the Armadillo?
A SYMBOL OF SAFETY AND PROTECTION
The armadillo, with its natural armor, is the perfect symbol of defense and protection. This animal is known for its ability to shield itself from external threats thanks to the strength of its shell. Just like the armadillo, TOBAGO bags are designed to provide a secure barrier against the bumps and hazards of daily transport. By choosing this symbol, TOBAGO clearly conveys its mission: to guard your instrument with the same care and strength the armadillo uses to protect itself.
In the dynamic world of music, where frequent travel and performances in varying conditions are the norm, instrument safety is essential. The stylized armadillo in the TOBAGO logo reflects this constant need for protection. Inspired by this natural resilience, our bags are crafted from durable materials that offer outstanding protection for every instrument, providing musicians with the peace of mind they need to take on any challenge, wherever their musical journey leads them.
