  Looking for a BIFL wallet

  Honstely, my Eastpack wallet that I bought when I was 11 and those were very cool is still holding up. I use it as my vacation wallet now when I don't want to take all my cards and misc stuff with me

  Best Carry On Luggage for 2026?

  I travel for work constantly. My go too luggage for travel has been an Eastpak Tranverz S for almost 10 years now. I swear buy it, packs really well and stands up to abuse, I recently picked up their biggest one too for my occasional long trips where I used hold luggage.

  Best Carry On Luggage for 2026?

  I have an Eastpak carry on from 2013 that you’d think it’s new if it weren’t for a bit of wear on the wheels. I use it several times a year. I got it in a hideous pattern so it’s unmistakably mine 😆

  I use the same eastpack backpack for 22 years. Been to dozens of festivals, many holidays and grocery trips. Still good after all of these years. Dunno if the quality nowadays is still good as back then, but so far this worked for me.

  Backpack suggestions?

  So far ive had my Eastpack for about 15 years. Daily use from 2nd year of highschool, college and work. The zipper broke after 5 years. So i sent it back to the factory to have it replaced (it was a special edition just perfect in size between the small one and the dual zipper one) It is showing its age. And i can see a bit of light coming through the fabric at the bottom. But they have a 30 year warranty on the bag itself (unfortunately not the zipper but ah well) If it ever breaks im buying a new one immediately. Only thing that served me so brilliantly as my Eastpack. Edit: it wasnt all that special but i didnt want a different size. Found the bag i have https://eu.eastpak.com/nl-nl/collections/bestverkochte-rugzakken/products/out-of-office-ek000767008

  My Eastpak has looked the same for 9 years, 5 of those seeing daily use in school. It has absolutely no holes, undone stitching, anything

  For not too expensive: Eastpak. Idk if the new ones are as good, but I have 10-15 year old ones that I still use heavily (school bag back in the day, gym bag now). Expensive: I found a local bag maker that makes bags out of recycled plastic bottles. My daily bag is 10-15kg and it has been going strong every single day for 3 years + backpacking travel.

  I realised yesterday that I’ve had the same Eastpak for over half my life. I got it when I was 15 and I’m 31 now.

  I had like two eastpaks total during high school and studies. At the end the second one was still fine. So we're talking life expectancy of ten years for daily use. That's pretty damn good.

  Best wallets for women that actually last

  I just went back to my 20-year old Eastpak wallet that I used as a teenager, after multiple other wallets fell apart. I’m pretty sure it will last me a long long time. It’s the Eastpak Crew Single.

  Trying to find a good travel backpack for Hawaii and other trips. What do you guys look for to know it’s bifl

  Is this your main cabin bag or for day trips/sightseeing? While I’m a fan of Samsonite for my suitcase (their warranty delivers!), I think I would shy away from this look for daily use. I like a good beat up school bag from a company like Jansport, Eastpak, LL Bean, or Crate and Barrel that looks like it might just be holding diapers paired with a close-fitting sling/belt bag for the important stuff.

  Everyday and Travel Backpack

  Jansport or Eastpak. They are not 'high' end, but for the price seem to last well, and come with a lengthy guarantee.

  Can't decide on a backpack

  Eastpak Padded Pakr or Wyoming. I got my first one in 1999 and used it for 20 Years, then I had Fjallraven Kanken and now I have a Wyoming and I think it will last until 2045.

  List your 3 favorite BIFL items and at least 1 regret or fail

  My eastpak backpack, 30y warranty, I've used the warranty once and they repaired it with no issue. My Patagonia shell jacket, simple and solid, I also like the underarm vents. My darn tough socks, have only had them 5-6 years but they are still soft and comfortable.
