Brand Story

Our Story: Ravaver was founded in 2024 in Los Angeles by Hiro, a Pokemon TCG collector since age 8 and a stationery / leather goods designer with 11+ years of design experience. After two decades of frustration with flimsy ring binders that warped his Charizards, Hiro applied his design background to building a Pokemon binder that meets actual collector standards: side-loading pockets, full-perimeter YKK zippers, acid-free PVC-free interiors, and Pokemon-themed embossed PU leather covers. The first Ravaver binder shipped in 2024 after six months of testing with PTCG community members. Today Ravaver is run by Hiro plus two fellow Pokemon TCG enthusiasts.
