Calpak Luggage Set
I have an older set that they no longer produce, but this was my first “big girl” purchase before heading off to graduate school, and I’ve had them for about 5–6 years now. They’ve held up really well.
I’m also emotionally attached to it at this point. These bags literally go EVERYWHERE with me. The carry-on is definitely starting to show some wear and tear because I take it everywhere, but I still love it and it still gets the job done.
I wanted this bag for so long, and now that I have it (got it for myself as a Christmas gift in Dec 2024), it’s the only bag I use when I travel. I’m obsessed. Spacious, soft, stylish. Everything is a compartment. Literally everything you touch on this bag is another opportunity to store something. Bottle sleeve, shoe compartment, hidden compartment on luggage attachment sleeve. I love it.
It works for everything. Overnight stays, weekend trips, longer trips, whatever. It’s structured but still soft, so it can flex a little when you’re dealing with strict airlines and their carry-on rules.
I have used this bag on literally every trip I’ve taken since I bought it. Whether I’m travelling carry-on only or checking a bag, I don’t leave without it.
They also have a mini version now, and it’s adorable.
I use these for everything: Essentials, organizing electronics and wires, and the smallest one is perfect for jewelry.
Calpak Clear Cosmetics Case (Medium)
I am obsessed with this bag. I haven’t justified buying it yet because I already have toiletry bags that are cute and functional, but I know it’s only a matter of time. When I get it, I already know I’m going to love it. The ‘PAPAYA’ colorway they offer in the DedCool collab is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Packing Cubes
My current set is from Langria, and they’ve held up really well. I’ve had them for over 5 years, I cant find the particular print that I have online anymore but I’ll link a similar set.
But when they finally give out, I’ll be replacing them with Calpak ones in Mushroom or Tomato → THIS SET, or maybe Baggu → THIS SET! We’ll see
AirTags
These go in everything when I travel internationally, especially when I’m traveling alone.
Why Calpak
I honestly don’t use many other travel brands outside of something like Samsonite, which is more of a legacy brand.
If I’m buying travel products for myself, I go with Calpak.
It’s where aesthetics and functionality meet, which is exactly what I want. The colors are fun, everything feels intentional, and the products are actually useful, not just cute. They offer modularity, well defined aesthetics and lines, and everything you can need/want for travel without overwhelming the consumer with options.
