The Storm Breaker Lineup is here!

New for spring 2023, we are proud to introduce the Storm Breaker lineup. This line consists of a pair of backpacks, a tote bag, 2 sizes of duffel bags, and a pair of hip pouches. These bags are differentiated from the rest of our line by using material from Challenge Sailcloth for the exterior. This makes for an even lighter bag that remains fully waterproof.

Let us tell you how excited we are about these new materials. They are our first offering made from recycled content. Every yard of material is made from 20 water bottles and is recyclable after use - a first for BlaqPaks! Add to that the bold beautiful colors available and you have pretty much the perfect material. We’ve gone big also, creating a cohesive line of products that all match so you can BlaqPak in style! As with everything, the new Storm Breaker line is made one at a time at our Portland headquarters.


All new prints available!

Here at BlaqPaks we like changing things up. Our new prints are a great way to add a splash of color and style to the bags and accessories we make. In addition we’ve added the Anything Organizer to the line specifically to show off these prints and help you organize your bag with a splash of style. We are hard at work on some new artwork so you can expect us to continually add to what is available on our website.

The AP Messenger is back! July 2019

After a hiatus of over a year, we are excited to bring the AP Messenger bag back to the BlaqPaks line-up! If you’ve had our messenger bag before, then you’ll immediately recognize this as the same with a few new tweaks for 2019. They exclusively feature the ultra-slick AustriAlpin GT Cobra Buckle which beats every other buckle on the market for everyday use. They are initially available in medium and large sizes (the old Zero and Plus One models), in right and left shoulder versions, and any color you’d like, as long as that color is black!


Introducing the world's first strapless backpack system.

Building on proven dual-strap and single-strap bag models, our new zero-strap design frees the wearer from cumbersome over-the-shoulder attachment. This innovative technology allows for the fastest possible bag attachment and detachment times ever seen.
Available April 1st 2018, here and at our Portland headquarters on SE Division St.

Welcome to our new site! [Oct 2017]
Same bags, now in stock for faster shipping. We've condensed our sprawling lineup into 4 models that come in 2 or 3 sizes and several colorways each, all ready to ship as soon as we get your order. The bags are, in most cases, unchanged (details below). We'll be adding new products and classics, more colorways and limited, collaborative runs as we go. Custom orders can still be placed in-store or by contacting us directly to discuss details and options.

So, what exactly did we change?
-All bags now feature a black on black, debossed 10th Anniversary label.
-The DayTripper stays the same with a Medium and Large size available.
-The Jetpack and PDX are now called the PDX in small and medium respectively.
  -The large PDX is new and is the same dimensions as the old Rolltop BlaqPack
-The BlaqPak is the same size as the former Kagero in medium and large, however it now features an externally accessible laptop pocket with a burly #10 zipper.
-The Minus One, Zero and AP Messenger are now all the AP Messenger in Small, Medium and Large respectively.
-You might notice a few classic BlaqPaks accessories missing, don't worry. Most will be back very soon. Contact us if there's something you're looking for.
