Calpak Travel earns largely positive reviews for stylish, well‑engineered luggage and bags—especially the Luka duffel, Terra 26L Backpack Duffel, and clear cosmetic cases—that feel durable, glide smoothly, and offer smart organization like shoe compartments, trolley sleeves, and abundant pockets. Reviews also flag weaknesses: occasional strap and zipper failures, scuffing or peeling materials, cramped carry‑on interiors, dark linings that obscure contents, and mixed warranty/customer service experiences, so buyers who prioritize long‑term durability and support should weigh these trade‑offs.

  • I bought my first CalPak product (a clear cosmetic case), about 2 years ago and never looked back when shopping for all travel items. The quality is there, the functionality is the best I’ve ever used, and the modern look and colors make everything on their site beautiful! I recently bought the Terra 26L Laptop Duffel Backpack and took it with my for 10 days in Vegas. I can’t even explain how easy that backpack made my life with the way it functions. The way it converts from a backpack to a duffel that opens like a suitcase made it easy to slip under the plane seat in front of me, as well as over my carry-on handle so I didn’t have to wear it while walking through the airport. The pockets throughout the entire product made it incredibly easy to locate my ID, wallet, airpods, ipad, food, and drink within seconds. The waterproof exterior is also a plus! You can even carry a Stanley in the expandable drink side pocket! And all Calpak’s products are like that - they know what it takes to make traveling easier and visually appealing! Highly recommend this brand!

  • I looked for a really long time for travel pieces that we cute, super functional and lightweight. I've now bought the 26L backpack, XL Sling and water bottle carrier for myself. My mom and sister now have the fanny packs in super fun colors. My daughter got the Styvn (sp?) tote and mini backpack. We're all stocked up and glad we have lots of trips to use them.

  • Calpak has really high quality items. I have the Insulated Lunch Bag and the Terra 26L Backpack Duffel. The lunch bag is quite roomy and keeps items colder than other lunch bags I've had in the past. The backpack also offers a lot of room as a personal item. You could also use this as your carry-on. I love that the backpack can also be opened up like a suitcase for easier access. Both items have been very durable for use at work or on trips. I highly recommend Calpak for your next luggage or bag purchase!

  • I have really enjoyed the three items I have purchased from CalPak. Their customer service is excellent, and they have a killer rewards program. Plus everything they make is of such a high caliber, and has an excellent warranty.

  • The large make up case is amazing. Roomy, well made, easy to clean. Love the zippers.

  • Honestly, I love this brand. I have several Luka items and a cosmetics zip bag. I love everything from them! I use the Luka duffel every couple weeks and love the structure and compartments inside. The toiletry bag is great, too. It doesn’t get squished in my suitcase and I can pack it open or closed which is really handy. Shipping is always fast and the rewards program is valuable.

  • I have ordered many different styles of backpacks, totes and belt bags from Calpak and have been so happy with everything I have purchased! I’ve bought Luka duffels for my daughters as gifts and even my friends have ordered them because I raved about the quality and organization in the bags. They have a very generous loyalty program and have great sales multiple times a year. I can’t say enough about how happy I have been with all of my CalPak bags!

  • I have enjoyed all my Calpak purchases, and they stand by their products with excellent customer service. I first started with the Hue carryon and the Luka duffle. This duo has been my carry-on dream team for at least 20 trips so far. On one trip one of the rubber side stoppers got ripped off. Calpak was out of stock, but through the warranty sent me another suitcase as a replacement. It was an efficient and easy process. I recently purchased the large Hue for a longer trip and it is just as awesome as my carryon. I also own the packing cubes and lunch bag. My husband and teen son have also replaced their luggage with the Calpak starter collections . We are all fans.

  • I love my Luka duffel and the medium cosmetic case. I’m new to CALPAK but I’ve traveled with both already and loved keeping organized with both of these bags.

  • So far every thing I’ve ordered from Calpak has been great. I have the Luka duffle, mini Luka backpack and a lunch bag. I’ve also ordered the duffle and the starter suitcase set for family. It was definitely a hit. I have my eye on the Terra 26L backpack.

  • Awesome customer service. Easy exchange and quick responses. Luka Belt Bag is very roomy and great quality materials.

  • I have a few of their items and absolutely love all of them. They are all quality made and very practical. They have pockets in the perfect spots and lots of different colors to choose from. Definitely would recommend

  • I have chosen calpak for my everyday use and travel! Now as a new mother I will be purchasing the cute essentials they have now!

  • Great products! The CalPack items I’ve purchased have made my travel so much more organized. Which is the most important thing to me as a mom of two young kids.

  • The buying experience was great. I love the Terra Hanging Toiletry Bag. It's great for traveling.

  • I own three CALPAK items and am always looking to buy more since all of their products are functional and stylish. • Small Clear Cosmetics Case: I use this in both carry-ons and duffels. It fits all of the skincare and makeup that I need for trips. I try to be mindful and pack a ziploc bag as well to fit liquids in certain European airports. • Tech Organizer: I bought it in the Speckle color and it's very cute. It holds all of the charging blocks and cables I need for my phone, tablet, and laptop. • Luka Key Pouch: Super cute -- I got it in the Oatmeal color and use it for my AirPods and some keys. All in all, I highly recommend purchasing from CALPAK. They design their products with style and substance.

  • I'm a very heavy packer and very particular about my bags and items as well- I want them to be cute and stylish as well as functional and hold a lot- and my Calpak bags are my absolute favorite!! I have the Terra hanging toiletry bag for my hygiene items, Compakt shoe bags, small cosmetics case, lunch bag, and water bottle bag. I think the Terra toiletry bag is my favorite but it's hard to choose! For all trips big and small they improve my experience- being organized allows me to fully enjoy myself. Everything is well-made and thoughtfully designed. Can't recommend enough!!

  • I am always satisfied with my Calpak purchase. The items are just like they are on the website, and the materials are top quality! I live my Luka backpack. It holds my laptop and there is still more room for other items. And the color is fabulous!

  • I LOVE the organization! Pockets galore! I especially appreciate the shoe pocket, AND that it fits as a personal item! I have the duffel in the most amazing cobalt blue color
