The Calpak Terra Tote Bag Is 15% Off for Mother’s Day

I’m letting you in on a little secret (just in time for Mother’s Day); I have this tote bag that is unlike any others I’ve owned, and it’s so good that I needed to tell someone. Complete with seven pockets and a zippered roll-top design, this Calpak Terra weekender bag can hold up to six outfits and two pairs of shoes, plus a water bottle, toiletries, a laptop, and various purse accoutrements. 

I can pack it for a road trip without giving a second thought to another piece of luggage, and when I fly, this bag fits neatly in the overhead compartment. As a work-from-home mom, it’s my go-to bag for getting out of town, heading to the beach, or hitting the sidelines of a soccer game (to hold lots of extra layers, just in case). It covers all my needs and wants (in terms of packing and supplies)—and it’s now on sale for Mother’s Day at 15 percent off.

Calpak Terra 35L Water-Resistant Zippered Tote Bag

My Calpak Terra 35L Water-Resistant Tote is never an arm’s length away. It measures 18 by 14 by 8.5 inches, but the expandable sides make it seem like double that capacity. And I’ve never seen a bag with so many pockets—seven to be exact! Let me tell you how much it can hold. I can fit two water bottles in the outside pockets, and the large zippered front pocket holds my wallet, keys, sunglasses, and lip gloss. There’s also a small exterior pocket perfect for keeping my phone easily accessible, and the two interior sleeves that fit my shoes, socks, and underwear. Finally, the interior zippered pocket is big enough to hold my 13-inch laptop—no additional bag needed! 

If that wasn’t enough, this bag features a roll-away top, secured by webbing and buckles, but it can be fully zippered as well to be used as a check-in bag for my next flight. The sturdy webbing shoulder straps are long enough to hold my load, and the luggage trolley sleeve allows me to fasten it to my rolling suitcase (see my recommendation for Calpak’s Soft-Sided Carry-On Luggage below).

I’m typically a mess when I’m going to and fro, tossing my bag on the ground or the boat ramp. So, my absolute favorite feature on this tote bag is the water-resistant fabric that wipes clean (inside and out), in the event of stains or splashes. I’ve even set it down in the mud before and was left with a caked-on mess. When I got it home, I immediately emptied the contents (which included four giant beach towels, sunblock, a water bottle, and snacks) and began hosing off the bottom with—you guessed it—my garden hose! A sponge and some gentle laundry soap finished off the job, and after a quick rinse and air dry, my bag looked as good as new. 

So, moms (and you gift-givers), listen up! You can buy my favorite Calpak tote right now for 15 percent off during the brand’s Mother’s Day Sale (through May 12). Bonus: This sitewide sale extends to all purchases of $100 or more. Plus, most of Calpak’s products come with a one-, two-, or five-year limited warranty and are sustainably made (29 recycled plastic bottles were used to make my favorite tote), giving you peace of mind about a trusted brand (since 1989).
