Doubletake started in 2016, when Dale Breen began making the tennis bag she couldn't buy. Shawna Gwin Krasts joined the following year, after running into exactly the same problem on her own club court. Together they turned it into a company. 

"My journey into tennis began later in life. After joining a local club with my husband, I quickly fell in love with the sport — the fresh air, the friendships, the challenge of improving. But there was one problem. The bags. For my very first lesson, I bought what I thought was the perfect tennis tote. It looked great online. But the moment I set it down courtside, it tipped over and everything spilled onto the court. My water bottle, my keys, my phone. Everything. I remember thinking, there has to be a better way. Like many women, I wanted a bag that was both beautiful and functional. Something thoughtfully organized, designed for the way we actually live and play. I couldn't find it. The more I played, the more I saw the opportunity — products that combined thoughtful organization, timeless style and everyday functionality. Products that worked just as well off the court as on it."

 — Shawna Gwin Krasts, co-founder

Doubletake has grown from one tennis bag into a full collection for players on the move — on the court, at work, travelling, or somewhere in between. Tennis bags and pickleball bags in backpack, tote, and duffel styles, plus shoe bags and accessories. The collection keeps growing. The mission hasn't changed: thoughtfully designed products that help you stay organized, feel confident, and enjoy every adventure life brings.

A court bag that only works on court isn't much of a bag. Most players go straight from a session to the office, the school run, or the airport. So the same bag carries a laptop, works as a carry-on, and slides over a suitcase handle on the luggage strap. It reads as a bag you'd carry anywhere, not as sports equipment you're stuck holding.
