Hi, we're Gary and Betsy.
We're a newly married couple from Chicago. Gary is a U.S. Army veteran turned corporate finance professional, and Betsy is a registered nurse. Right after our wedding, we packed up and set off on a long trip around the world, living out of our bags.
We tried to fit our whole lives into two suitcases and two backpacks. When everything you have has to earn its space, you find out fast what's worth carrying. The items in this store are the ones that made it work — and made our trips more efficient, organized, and enjoyable.
We learned very quickly what works and what doesn't. Our store features the products we wish we'd had when we started: a pouch that keeps every cable in one spot, cubes that turn chaos into order, and a passport wallet you never have to dig for. Little things that make long travel days easier.
That's why we started Harbor & Gate. We hand-pick travel accessories from brands we trust — every piece is gear we'd pack ourselves, chosen to keep you organized from the gate to wherever you land. We're finalizing our first brand partnerships now, and collections will open as each brand comes on board.
What we carry
We don't manufacture our own gear. We pick travel accessories from brands we trust — every piece is gear we'd pack ourselves:
- Tech organizers and cable pouches
- Packing cubes and toiletry kits
- Passport wallets and crossbody slings
