Eastpak pencil case

Eastpak began as Eastern Canvas Products in 1952, originally manufacturing high-quality duffel bags and packs for the US military. The brand's transition into the consumer market was sparked in the 1970s when college students began using military gear for their school supplies, leading to the creation of the iconic urban backpack.

Today, while the brand maintains its American heritage and reputation for durability, its products are manufactured in multiple countries, primarily in Asia (such as Vietnam and Bangladesh). Since 2000, Eastpak has been a key brand in the portfolio of VF Corporation, an American global apparel and footwear powerhouse, ensuring its widespread global distribution and frequent collaborations with high-end fashion designers.
