From travel bags to shoulder bags, the Eastpak Padded Pak'r is versatile and comes in a range of designs to suit your individual style. Embrace genuine heritage with the most iconic Eastpak backpack ever made: The Padded Pak'r.

Virtually indestructible

Our Padded Pak’r bags are made of strong, high quality materials. The main body is constructed from a single piece of high-density, ballistic-grade nylon. How else could we offer you a 30 year warranty?

Padded for protection

The Padded Pak’r® has a padded back, because you don’t! Keeping you comfortable and your stuff safe.

All-day comfort

The unique shoulder strap design is not only super comfortable but actually forms itself to the shape of your shoulders over time, so you hardly even know you’re carrying it. This is revolutionary for those of us who have to carry heavy loads to school or work each day.

Ready for anything

Eastpak backpacks are water resistant. Their fabrics, coated interior and zippers are perfect for keeping your contents high and dry.

An ever-evolving design

Keeping up with the times, we strive to ensure our products consistently meet the demands of today’s audience. We want to make bags that aren’t just practical for your daily needs but also stylish and fun.

Our infamous collab range has starred collaborations with a number of the world’s greatest designers. From Vivienne Westwood, Jean Paul Gautier and more.
