Who Are We?

We’re Arca Official, a brand born from frustration and fueled by passion. Two entrepreneurs, stuck in Vancouver’s endless rain, realized they couldn’t find a travel backpack that had it all—functionality, durability, and affordability. So, we built our own. What started as a dream to create the best one bag travel quickly turned into a full-fledged brand dedicated to making high-quality, budget-friendly travel gear and apparel. 

Why Did We Start Arca?

Ever searched for a travel backpack that doesn’t cost a fortune? Yeah, so did we. But every option was either ridiculously overpriced or lacked the features we needed. That’s when we decided to create our own. So, we sourced the best materials, partnered with top-tier brand manufacturers, and launched Arca Official. Fast forward to today, and we’re shipping our gear worldwide, receiving amazing feedback from travelers just like you.

What Makes Our Gear Different?

Smart Organization

Our backpacks are designed with compartments for everything—tech, travel essentials, and even a power bank hookup so you can charge on the go.

Weather-Ready

Rain? No problem. Our water-resistant designs keep your gear dry.

Affordable

Premium quality without the outrageous markup. We partner with top brands to get you the best for less.

Lifetime Warranty

We stand by our products. If something goes wrong, we’ve got your back—literally.

Who Do We Design For?

Frequent travelers, digital nomads, commuters, adventurers—basically anyone who moves. Our community is at the heart of everything we do. Your feedback shapes our designs, and your experiences inspire us to create better gear. 

What’s the Meaning Behind Arca?

Ever wondered why we’re called Arca Official? It’s a tribute to our roots. The AR comes from Argentina, our homeland, and CA represents Canada, where our journey began. The mountain in our logo? That’s Vancouver, the city that inspired us. And ‘Official’? Because we’re the real deal—no knockoffs, no compromises, just high-quality travel gear.

Beyond Backpacks: The Arca Lifestyle

Travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how you feel while getting there. That’s why we expanded beyond backpacks into quality travel apparel. Soft, breathable cotton, cozy spandex blends, and stylish, functional designs—everything you need to move through airports, cities, and new destinations comfortably and confidently.
