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’ve gotten 2 sets of matching suitcases carton and large checked bag. Great colors and textures-easy to spot on the luggage carousel. Roll smoothly.

  • I always get compliments on the belt bag I got from Calpak. The quality of materials and style are both great. I'm looking forward to trying more products from the brand! I also ordered one of the matching sweatsuit outfits which is super comfortable and when I had a sizing issue, customer service was quick to resolve.

  • I have 3 calpak suitcases (including my partner's suitcase). I find that the quality is super good and lasting for carry on, but if the airport handles it, it's another matter. Our pastel blue one got wrecked from check-in, and has scuff marks and small crack that can't be repaired. Other than that, the suitcases are so smooth while walking and easy to travel with. My only gripe is that the handle does get stuck if the suitcase is super full.

  • I’ve actually used calpak for many years - I have a duffel bag from 20 years ago before the image revamping. That original duffel bag has held up all these years, which means it was very well made. Even with today’s products, this brand is my go-to for everyday duffel bags. The look and feel are very “elevated casual” with different colors and nice stitching. I do like the organizers and pouches as well. I have a Dopp kit, which is spacious and holds all my gym toiletries. I also use the travel organizer. I really like it, and I use it for all my travel. I don’t love it because it’s stiff in order to hold its cubic shape, so sometimes it difficult to fit in certain bottles or containers. Otherwise, it is spacious and easy for air travel because it’s a clear container. I also like the tech bag because it holds a lot of my chargers and cords, but I don’t like the shape or design. It’s flat but very wide and it adds bulkiness to my bags. I’d prefer a narrower design or a cylindrical pouch.

  • It's prett good and versatile; however, other than the environmental factors I would say its pretty similar to other travel bags.

  • The quality and thoughtfulness shines in calpak products. My personal favorite is the Luka duffel in chocolate is such a staple for my car and everyday errands. With three sizes to choose from (or have all three!) always have what you need close by. I purchased the mini luka duffel (and the luka duffel keychain🥰) one thing is missing, the crossbody strap!

  • The website is easy to navigate. Shipping was super fast and quality is amazing!

  • I absolutely love all of my Calpak bags. I own three clear cosmetics cases (mini, small and medium), the Luka duffle and the everything cube. They are designed well, come in great color, and the quality is amazing. Their customer service is great, too.

  • I love the CALPAK purchases I’ve made so far! From the Luka Belt Bag to the baby bags, I’ve enjoyed these bags for all aspects and stages of my mom life! I definitely recommend!

  • I love all of the products and they are extremely easy to use for traveling by car or airplane. Somehow they fit everything that I need without being too bulky or hard to carry around. I use their bags exclusively when I travel now.

  • I absolutely LOVE anything Calpak. It all started with the Luka belt bag and now I find myself with the duffel bag, diaper bag, convertible stroller caddy, and more accessories to travel with. The material is great. The bags are usually lightweight, making it perfect for those with babies and toddlers. The color selection is awesome as well. You really can’t beat Calpak quality.

  • I love the matching Luka set! I would say it could be a bit more durable because I already see signs of wear and tear after one month of use but it’s very stylish. The rewards program with calpak is excellent too.

  • I have bought multiple things with calpak and have loved them all. They have fast shipping and quality items. My favorite purchase so far is the small clear cosmetics case. I use this everytime i fly domestic.

  • I love the terra collection. I don't love that Calpak's products aren't machine washable but I'm okay with the terra collection since it can be cleaned pretty easily by spot cleaning it since it is water resistant outside.

  • Absolutely love my Calpak products! I’ve got so many - 2 Luka duffel bags, Luka toiletry bag, large Terra backpack, Terra toiletry bag, packing cubes, compakt bag & duffle, tech organizer, everything cube, water bottle holder and a few others. I do love and use them all but my absolute favorite products are the Terra backpack and the water bottle holder. All have excellent quality and unique features that set them apart from similar companies. I will definitely be purchasing more items in the future.

  • I recommend all calpak products I have bought. I have the Luka duffel personal item size and the terra backpack. Ive used both on frontier airlines as personal items and they have been great. I also use the Terra cosmetic bag daily! I had the small clear cosmetic bag which I loved but it was stolen :( I also have the lunch bag which is cute. My friend at work (we are nurses) has the Luka backpack 15 inch and it is also awesome!

  • I love Calpak! I have the Terra 26L Laptop Duffel Backpack and the Croc Wallet in Emerald. Both products are super functional and cute. The backpack can also be used as a duffel and the crock wallet can be used as a clutch, crossbody, shoulder bag or fanny pack. The Backpack is waterproof and my go-to for weekend trips. I bought the croc wallet for travel, but it's so cute and useable that it's my new going-out purse.

  • Ordered two travel bags from them and they were even more gorgeous in person. I get so many compliments. And the quality is top notch. They even arrived the very next day w standard shipping.

  • I love Calpak. I had a question about a product I bought, and their customer service was super quick and attentive. Their products are great quality—I'm an overpacker, and my bags definitely were up for that challenge!

  • My orders from Calpak have been quick, easy, and overall what I want when shopping online. Most answers to the questions I had about products were answered either in the descriptions or by other reviewers.
