The bag that lasts, from school to travel.
A brand born for the army
Eastpak was founded in 1952 in Boston, USA, manufacturing bags and equipment for the American army. This expertise in durable bags later expanded to the general public: in the 1970s and 1980s, its backpacks won over students, followed by middle and high schoolers around the world. The brand is known for the durability of its bags, which are covered by a thirty-year warranty.

Iconic bags
The Padded Pak'r, with padded straps and a large front pocket, is the ultimate school bag, available in dozens of colors and patterns. The Day Pak'r, more structured, features a padded pocket for a laptop, ideal for students and professionals. The brand also offers pencil cases matching the bags, crossbody bags and fanny packs for light trips, as well as rolling luggage for travel. Collaborative editions, featuring colors from franchises or designers, refresh the classics regularly.
Choosing and maintaining
Choose your bag based on its use: the Padded Pak'r for school, the Day Pak'r for carrying a laptop, or a larger model for busy days. Wear it on both shoulders, with adjusted straps, to ease the strain on your back. An Eastpak bag can be hand-washed in lukewarm soapy water with a soft brush and air-dried. The warranty covers manufacturing defects, not normal wear and tear: it can be claimed in case of faulty stitching or zippers.
Good deals
Great bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and the items shipped in 24 hours are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. The major sales events of the year follow a steady pattern: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school.
Frequently asked questions
Which Eastpak bag should I choose for middle school?
The Padded Pak'r, compact and sturdy, holds notebooks and a pencil case for a day of classes. For students carrying many textbooks, a larger model with multiple compartments and padded straps distributes the weight better.
Which Eastpak should I take for high school with a laptop?
Choose a bag for laptops with a padded compartment, or the Day Pak'r, which is larger than the Padded Pak'r, featuring a dedicated inner pocket. Check the accepted screen size on the product sheet before purchasing.
How do I wash an Eastpak backpack?
Empty it, brush off the dust, then hand wash it in lukewarm water using a mild soap, scrubbing stains with a soft brush. Let it air dry, with pockets open, avoiding the tumble dryer.
What is the warranty on Eastpak bags?
Eastpak offers a thirty-year warranty on its bags against material and manufacturing defects, such as a broken seam. Normal wear and tear and accidental damage are not covered.

The name is pronounced in English, like ist-pak. The brand was founded in 1952 in Boston, USA, manufacturing bags for the American army, before capturing the attention of students in the 1970s and 1980s.
