I love prepping for upcoming vacations — especially when it comes to shopping for matching travel sets and outfits for our family adventures. But when it’s time to actually pack? That’s when I hit the panic button. Between my own things and all the stuff my kids need, packing can feel like a giant, overwhelming puzzle.
One trick I’ve learned: having high-quality, good-looking luggage makes the task a little less stressful. I’ve collected four Calpak suitcases over the years (one for each member of my family), and they’ve done more than earn their keep. Even after my husband and son dragged theirs across cobblestone streets on a summer trip through Europe, they’re still holding up like new.
Now Calpak’s four-piece Evry Starter Bundle is 45 percent off (that’s a $300 savings) — and I’m tempted to grab another set.
Calpak Evry Starter Bundle
The bundle includes a carry-on suitcase, a large check-in suitcase, a five-piece packing cube set, and a luggage tag. The colors that are on sale include a milky chocolate brown and a soft green with adorable daisy details — both of which stand out in a sea of black suitcases at baggage claim.
The hard-shell material is “very sturdy and light at the same time,” according to one shopper. They added that the large suitcase “has enough room [to pack] for a week,” making it a practical choice for both quick trips and longer vacations.
Travelers also appreciate how easy the pieces are to roll through crowded airports and busy city streets, thanks to their smooth 360-degree spinner wheels. One reviewer even said it was possible to use just “one finger to push and pull even the large luggage.” That makes a big difference when you’re juggling kids, carry-ons, and a cup of coffee at the same time.
And, the suitcases expand up to two extra inches, giving you the flexibility to squeeze in last-minute souvenirs or that extra outfit you couldn’t leave behind.
The five-piece packing cube set and pouches (including one for dirty laundry!) are designed to keep everything organized, so you won’t have to dig through a stack of clothes to find your phone charger. A reviewer noted that the pouches get “everything packed efficiently to maximize space.”
If you’re considering the Evry Starter Bundle, a few more Calpak picks are worth checking out to complete your travel collection. The site has laptop totes ideal for work trips, the carry-on we named best overall for underseat luggage, and the Luka Duffle — my go-to weekender bag for the past three years.
