We all know the panic of pulling your suitcase out of the closet the night before a trip, only to realize the zipper is broken and the wheels are sticking. Memorial Day sales are the perfect excuse to preemptively upgrade your travel setup before the heavy summer travel season begins.
Calpak has mastered the intersection of aesthetics and pure functionality. During their holiday sale events, you can usually score major discounts (often up to 45% off luggage sets). If you are navigating the sale, here are the three core pieces worth your money.
The cornerstone of any good travel setup is a reliable, lightweight hardside spinner. Calpak’s signature collections—like the metallic Ambeur or the minimalist Hue are famous for being incredibly durable while looking chic on the baggage carousel. Grabbing a 2-piece set (a carry-on and a large checked bag) during a Memorial Day sale is usually the most cost-effective way to overhaul your luggage all at once.
If you’ve spent any time in an airport lately, you’ve seen the Luka Duffel. It has achieved cult status for one simple reason: it maximizes the strict “personal item” dimensions for airlines while still sliding effortlessly over your suitcase handle via a trolley sleeve. It’s squishy, lightweight, and features a hidden shoe compartment. If it goes on sale, it is an instant add-to-cart.
If you aren’t using packing cubes yet, you are traveling on hard mode. Calpak’s 5-Piece Packing Cube Sets are arguably the best in the business. They use a structured mesh front so you can actually see what’s inside, and they help compress your clothes so you can fit more into a standard carry-on. Snagging these on sale is a low-cost investment that completely changes how you pack and unpack at your hotel.
