Eastpak: the backpack that never dies for high school students
Eastpak was founded in 1952 near Boston under the name of Eastern Canvas Products, initially making bags for the American army before turning to the general public in the 1970s. The brand is known for its durability, supported by a thirty-year warranty, which is rare in luggage. The Padded Pak'r, with its padded straps and back, remains the ultimate college and high school bag, featuring a large main pocket and a front pocket. The Day Pak'r adds a laptop compartment and a wider opening, while the Out Of Office organizes office items around a padded back.

Got Bag: bags made from ocean plastic
Got Bag, a brand founded in 2016 in Mainz, Germany, makes its bags from plastic collected from the sea: Indonesian fishermen gather waste off the coast of Java, which is then sorted, transformed into thread, and woven into a sturdy fabric. The Rolltop, a backpack with a roll-top closure, secures by rolling the top down on itself, protecting the contents from rain and allowing you to adjust the volume based on the load. The hand bag Moon and its large pleated version use the same fabric in a more urban format, worn over the shoulder. These simple models, water-resistant, are suitable for both work and travel.
Cabin suitcase or checked luggage: the travelite formats
travelite, a German family business founded in 1949 and based in Hamburg, offers suitcases in various sizes. The S size, or cabin, measures about fifty-five centimeters tall and fits in the overhead luggage compartment, subject to the dimensions allowed by each airline. Sizes M and L are for checked luggage for longer stays; some, like the Air Base in size M, have an expandable gusset that adds volume for the return trip. Four spinning wheels make it easier to navigate through train and airport halls, and an adjustable telescopic handle accommodates the traveler's height.
Handbags Guess and Desigual, city backpacks
On the handbags side, Guess, founded in 1981 in Los Angeles by the Marciano brothers, offers models with a metallic logo, like the bag hobo Ella, which has a soft shape worn over the shoulder. Desigual, founded in Barcelona in 1984 and known for its prints and color splashes, offers women's backpacks like the Half or the Notus Sumy, which are more compact than a school bag, for the city. The backpack DC Shoes Backsider, coming from the California skate scene, and the Nike Elemental, simple and lightweight, complete the selection for daily commutes and for younger users.
Frequently asked questions
What size suitcase for a one-week trip?
A medium suitcase, about sixty-five centimeters high, is suitable for one week for one person, checked in. Travelers packing light can manage with a well-organized cabin suitcase, provided they choose easily combinable clothes.
How to make use of the warranty on an Eastpak bag?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and materials, not accidental damage or normal wear and tear. You contact the brand's customer service with proof of purchase and photos; the bag is repaired or replaced depending on the defect identified.
Can you machine wash an Eastpak backpack?
The brand recommends hand washing instead, using cold water with mild soap, then air drying. The machine can distort the padded back and damage the coatings; start by brushing off dust and treating stains locally.
Hard shell or soft suitcase: which protects better?
The hard shell better absorbs shocks from checked baggage and protects fragile items, at the cost of having to open in two halves. The soft fabric suitcase compresses a bit in the compartments and offers handy exterior pockets for travel documents.
Which backpack to choose for high school?
A bag of twenty to thirty liters, with wide padded straps, accommodates binders and large notebooks. A compartment for a laptop or tablet becomes useful in high school; adjust the straps so the bag stays high, close to the back.
