In 1952, Mark, the son of Monte, the founder of Eastern Canvas Products, which produced military backpacks in the U.S., introduced backpacks for general consumers. These backpacks became incredibly popular among college students, leading to the creation of the brand “Eastpak” in 1976.

Eastpak continues to innovate, embracing the “Back to Basic” philosophy, which emphasizes simplicity, practicality, and functionality, while also fostering unique styles through collaborations with artists under the core value of “BUILT TO RESIST.”
