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.

1989

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.

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

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.

Today, the CALPAK brand has evolved once again with a whole new look. We believe that if you have the right tools (or bags), there’s so much more joy to be found in the journey. We can’t wait to join you for the ride!
