Meet the Pacafone! 

Pacafone was created for and inspired by our irrepressible mom, Martha. At 86 years-young, Mom is still highly active and independent, but is also alone most of the day, and with a couple of health issues. Mom wasn’t crazy about wearing any of the available health alert systems, but with a little coaxing we got her to agree to carry a cell phone on her person at all times, just so we could touch base with her throughout the day. Initially, we tried several small bags, but she found them uncomfortable; complaining that the strap would twist and dig into her neck. We needed a solution.  

Hence, Pacafone was born! After a few family brainstorming sessions, we came up with a lightweight, comfortable and stylish cell phone bag made out of industrial felt with a strap that lies flat against the body. And because our whole family are animal lovers with an eye on the environment the Pacafone is vegan with trim material made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! And best of all, Mom loved it!

Before long, so many of our friends began telling us that they too were interested in a cool-looking, comfortable way to carry their phones, that we quickly realized Pacafone was not just for seniors but for everyone. 

Each Pacafone is hand-crafted in small quantities at our ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, which is also home to Martha’s Farm Animal Sanctuary, where neglected farm animals come to live out their lives loved and cared for in a beautiful and tranquil environment. In fact, one of our miniature donkeys 'Lucy' agreed to model for our logo design. What can we say?  She loves the spotlight!

Sending love and good wishes from our Paca-family to yours,
