It all started in 1952 when Eastern Canvas Products, Inc. began making duffels and packs for the U.S. Army. In 1976 Mark Goldman joins his father's company and discovers a new niche market for its military bags: the U.S. college campus! The Padded Pak'r®backpack is an overnight success and the Eastpak brand is born. After decades of making bags that last a lifetime, Eastpak became the first to offer a 30 year warranty. Eastpak continues to reinvent the concept of urban mobility. For people who live, work and play in the city. (i.e. For people like you.)
