Originally established 1960 by Monte Goldman, Eastpak started life as 'Eastern Canvas Products' making products such as duffel bags and knapsacks for the armed forces. In 1976 Monte's son Mark noticed that students were using military daypacks as book bags, he convinced his father to begin manufacturing a line of daypacks especially for consumers, the collection was introduced under the Eastpak name and fast became a favourite among the alternative thinkers across college and university campuses.
Eastpak was the first brand to use Cordura to make its packs - making them tougher, stronger and better value for money than any of the others out there,we were also the first brand to experiment with wild colours and bold prints - making our bags fun and fashionable... Its this vision and innovative approach that has seen Eastpak develop into the brand it is today
