The Backstory
Eastpak: Built to Last
Eastpak has been making high-quality bags since 1952. The brand originally got its start making gear for the U.S. military, so you know its products are rugged. Eastpak believes in its bags so deeply that it offers a 30-year warranty on all of its products. In 1976 Eastpak began making bags for college students. And while its end-user changed, its ethos — using robust materials and quality construction to create products that last, no matter what life throws at you — remained.
The brand frequently partners with creative collaborators to inject new life into its legendary designs, meaning there’s always a fun and exciting style or colorway that will help you express yourself as you move throughout your day.
