Design

Our designs draw inspiration from you and all the places you go. Built for long‑haul trips, we never compromise quality for style. Our products are made for everyone, wherever your path leads you.

Evolution

Since 1989, we’ve been creating products that take you places, while pushing boundaries. As we write the next chapter of our story, we want to invite you into a world where you discover a love for packing, and a passion for getting there.

Going places since 1989, CALPAK exists for those who welcome the unknown, who seek the new, and find joy in the journey.

1989 | The Beginning

Born in LA, California Pak was brought to life by Edward and Judy Kwon. It started out as a modest collection of handbags and wallets.

1997 | Expanding into Travel

Edward and Judy began to evolve the line, focusing on more travel goods like duffels and soft luggage.

2008 | Hard‑Sided Luggage Launched

The brand grew once more, introducing long‑awaited hard‑sided luggage to the collection.

2013 | Reborn as CALPAK

California Pak transitioned into CALPAK, when Jennifer and Roy, Edward and Judy’s children, joined the family business. With a refreshed logo, and all‑new products—the brand was reborn to reflect a whole new generation of travelers. Jennifer Kwon became President.

2018 | Collaborations

CALPAK collaborated with some of their favorite brands and tastemakers, including collections with Oh Joy!, Jen Atkin, The Home Edit, and Taco Bell.

2023‑Present | New Brand Identity

The CALPAK brand evolved once again with a whole new visual identity and expanded product range. Our lineup covers daily commutes, weekend escapes and long‑distance international travel.

CALPAK is an AAPI‑owned family‑run brand. Designed in Los Angeles, our products are manufactured in China. Jennifer Kwon, President of CALPAK, visits partner factories annually to verify fair labour conditions and product quality.
