Products

What bag do you recommend for my child who is going to sleepaway camp?

Our line of soft trunks are perfect for camp! The soft trunk can fit lots of items and keep them relatively neat. If you choose the rolling trunk, the sturdy wheels are easy to maneuver. Once at camp, the bag folds flat and can be stowed away or used as storage.

What is the biggest bag you sell?

Our 52" soft trunk square duffel is the largest bag we sell. It measures 52" x 20" x20".

Our 42" rolling soft trunk is the largest rolling bag we sell. It's measurements are 42" x 16.5" x 16.5".

In addition, we carry a 52" duffel bag, which is great for sports gear.

If you are travelling by air, the largest size bag which is not oversized is the 36" rolling soft trunk.

Which bag do you recommend for airplane travel?

Most airlines allow a maximum size for checked baggage of 62 inches of all the dimensions combined (length + width + height). This would rule out a 42 inch trunk, for example which has a combined size of 75 inches (42” length + 16.5” width + 16.5” height). However, the 36" trunk is a good choice. At capacity it slightly exceeds the typical restriction with a combined size of 67 inches (36 x 15.5 x 15.5. However, the height of the trunk is something you can play with because when it’s not packed to capacity, it won’t be at its maximum height.

What is the quality of your bags?

Our bags are made of 1200 Denier heavy duty construction. They have a U-shaped opening, with a heavy duty zipper on main compartment and sturdy wheels for easy maneuvering. 

We stand behind the quality of all of our bags.

Your name labels collection looks incredible, tell me about it!

We offer a collection of labels that we can print to your specification. Labels come in various sizes and shapes, with either a plain background or with a design. Labels come as stickers, iron-on or sew-on, as well as convenient stamper. These are great for camp, dorms, daycare, nursing homes and more!
