Duluth Pack

Founded in 1882 by French-Canadian immigrant Camille Poirier in the northern forests of Minnesota, Duluth Pack is the oldest canvas and leather bag and pack manufacturer in the United States. What began with a patented pack design built for the rugged needs of local timber, mining, port, and railway workers has grown into a legacy of handcrafted, American-made outdoor gear. Each product—built in Duluth, MN—is guaranteed for life on craftsmanship and hardware, reflecting a commitment to durability, quality, and tradition. While rooted in the canoeing and portaging heritage of the Boundary Waters, Duluth Pack has evolved into a trusted brand for adventurers and everyday users worldwide. Withstanding two World Wars, the Great Depression, and a global pandemic, Duluth Pack remains a symbol of resilience, craftsmanship, and American legacy—still proudly made in the USA.
