The oktō™ Story – Born From Chaos, Built for You

Every player knows the struggle: digging for a lost ball at the bottom of a messy bag, balancing your phone on your knee between games, or worrying about sweaty shoes mixing with your snacks. We accepted this chaos—until oktō™ came along.

Invented on the pickleball courts by Melanie Romero, oktō™ was built to solve real frustrations. The fold-out desk makes handling calls or jotting notes effortless. The magnetic side panels give you instant access without fumbling with zippers. Separate ventilated and insulated compartments keep your gear fresh, clean, and organized.

But oktō™ isn’t just for the courts. It’s a bag designed for your whole life—work meetings, travel days, weekend tournaments, and everything in between.

And every purchase does more than organize your day. oktō™ supports coral reef conservation through the DiverMojo Foundation, protecting the ocean home of the octopus—the intelligent, adaptable creature that inspired our name.

With oktō™, you don’t just buy a bag. You invest in order, ease, and impact.

A note on the inventor: a mechanical engineer and seasoned inventor who spends many hours on the courts created oktō out of frustration with all the bags on the market. Melanie Romero welcomes conversations with businesses and consumers alike about innovations and inventions and can be reached on our contact form.
