The Supercute “TSITP”-Inspired Duffel Bag You Can Use on Move-In Day (and Beyond!)
Dorm move-in season is here, and every college student knows the struggle of hauling clothes and bedding from the car to the dorm. You need a bag that’s large enough to hold your dorm essentials while also being a manageable size that you can carry it for a few blocks. A weekender bag is a move-in day staple, and this daisy-print CALPAK option is also Belly Conklin-approved — it made a cameo in season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty. (Whether you agree with her romantic choices or not, Belly does have some cute fashion and decor finds, as seen in her dorm aesthetic.)
The exact bag Belly carried ( the Compakt Duffel Bag in the daisy print) as she arrived to the beach house for a weekend, is already sold out. But don’t worry, CALPAK has other pieces in the same daisy print so you can still channel Cousins Beach vibes moving into to school.
For the big stuff, the Stevyn Duffel with Shoe Compartment is the move-in bag everyone needs, with room for everything from shoes to your bedding. The daisy pattern, which is a light green background with white daisies, keeps it cute — but the bag’s design itself is super functional, with a comfy carrying strap and a structure that won’t cave in after one use. And if you’ve been living for TSITP, like pretty much everyone else right now, this is the bag for you.
You can even personalize it with your initials, full name, or whatever you desire for $25.
If you want the daisy print without a high-ish price tag, go for the packing cubes. These compact luggage cubes might just be the secret weapon of move-in organization. CALPAK’s Medium Compression Packing Cubes in the daisy print are a total game-changer when it comes to fitting way too many clothes in one bag.
The compression feature helps you squeeze in extra tees, jeans, or that one top you haven’t worn in years, but brought as a “just in case.” Once you’re at school, they make unpacking so much easier, since everything is already sorted. Plus, they’re just as useful for weekend trips home or spontaneous fall break adventures.
Move-in day isn’t exactly dreamy, but these bags keep it close. Because, as Belly says, “Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.” Let’s be honest, fall semester will be pretty great, too! And now you’ll have a cute bag at the ready when adventure calls.
