Calpak Luka Duffel Review (Is She Worth It?)

[@meridethknighton1252]

I bought this bag and we have a love/hate relationship. She’s beautiful and okay for short trips but nothing long. Also, it’s not the easiest to carry once it’s full. The strap slips off the shoulder easily. Thanks for the review!

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @meridethknighton1252 I have a similar bag and I agree with you about everything. I am going to review a cheaper version of that bag, that looks better, but the weight issue will be the same.

A lady I work for her house worth £3-4 million and guess what. Her dup luxury brands bags are bought from *hotdups* worth £60 on the road. What l learned from her. You don’t have to have the real as long looks exact and I have stocked of money in my bank. I used to buy the real to a point realising I don’t need to waste money.

I LOVE THIS BAG SO MUCH! I put my toiletries and makeup bag inside the shoe compartment so I have so much space inside and the laptop you can put it on the outside sleeve!

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @iilx865 How do you use this bag? Do you use it as a personal item, or do you use it to pack clothing? And can you clean it?

[@iilx865]

@@PerriesPassport I use it when traveling it counts as a personal item! I don’t pack a lot of clothes mostly toiletries and makeup bags etc. You can clean it with a microfiber cloth and some water but mostly depends on the color of the bag I have a black one so normally I don’t clean it much!

[@PerriesPassport]

@@iilx865 Thanks for that info. I kind of use bags both ways (as a personal item and for packing.

Hi ! Was there a time when LV Mono Vernis Perle Read PM Monogram.does not have a date code? My aunt and I were trying to authenticate an old Vernis white bag. The bag size, the monogram design is on point. even the stitches ,the color of the thread, the color of the inner lining. the lock,the hardware,the stamp,the zipper even the LV near the handle does not overlap.The only thing we noticed is that there was no date code. Accdg to my aunt that bag was given t her by her aunt in 2009 .But that *hotdups* was gifted to her aunt in 1998. There is only a slight discoloration but it looks fantastic.

I have the Cal Peck Terra 26 L computer backpack. You might like it better. It has a place for your computer, you can use it as either a duffel or a backpack, and it’s still softer and squishier, but I think it has more structure.

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @bettinanadler9416 Thanks for the tip! Is the inside of the bag black? I was kind of hoping for more of a tote bag, but I am always looking for something to add my collection of travel gear. I'll check out the backpack!

[@bettinanadler9416]

@@PerriesPassport no the inside of the bag is the same as the outside color. And it’s the TERRA line, which is sort of slick and shiny. It’s not a tote by any means.

[@PerriesPassport]

@@bettinanadler9416 Thanks, I'll have to check out that line. Maybe it's different

[@kamiwarner2158]

I like the fabric of the bag, but I wish the interior was a lighter color.

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @kamiwarner2158 I decided that I don't like black interiors, Things just seem so much harder to find in there. The bag is otherwise very nice, but not great.

[@chanej2651]

I have this bag. I wish it had a sleeve to put your tablet or laptop. That is what is missing. I bought it for a trip. I ended up not taking it. I'll probably use it for road trips. It does hold a lot. It will get a little heavy if you overload it.

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @chanej2651 I was really upset about it not having a computer sleeve, since as I mentioned i have other bags without sleeves and I tend not to use them as often. You confirmed my feelings, but then again, everyone's needs are different.

[@colleenc5008]

Thanks for the review. I'm going to pass on this bag. Too unconstructed and will pouch out on the sides. I could see it being very heavy and hard to manage. I think the price is too high as well, for what you get. I will keep hunting for the perfect personal item. It might be the Lovevook in the end.

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @colleenc5008 I have an upcoming review of an Amazon bag that looks like this but is much cheaper. I really like the Lovevook but it is a backpack... so it works well for a flight, but for me, not much else. I keep looking.

[@lynnevandewalle3829]

It seems huge to me and likely very heavy when stuffed. Thank for your review!

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @lynnevandewalle3829, it actually was no heavier than when I packed out the Lovevook backpack, but it did look a bit cumbersome in the video. That being said, the whole purpose of doing these videos is to give people some insight so they know before buying.

[@lynnevandewalle3829]

Exactly, and I thought your review was good!

[@SimplyKatieWalks]

Not a fan of this one. Thanks for a honest review!

[@PerriesPassport]

Hi @paisleyhunter. I have to agree, and I really wanted to love the bag.
