Testimonials

  • "Rest assured your money will be well spent. So far it's holding up great for my month long tour across Japan. The wheels are quiet and smooth and the handles are low profile and sturdy. The zippers and outer shell are just as burly. Overall top notch build quality; I expect this suitcase to last a lifetime!"

  • "I can't think of 1 thing wrong with this bigger carry-on suitcase. It is lightweight, has multiple handles to help you lift and/or carry it, the telescopic handle is smooth, and the wheels are super smooth! You can pull it along easily. It rolls smoothly over bumps, cracks, etc."
    Roselyn S
  • "Love this brand. This is the perfect size for a carry on and you can fit a full weeks clothes in. It's super lightweight so getting it in the overhead locker is easy."

Superior quality testing standards

Our suitcases are put through 30+ tests—from the shell, to wheels and zippers—that simulate real-life travel elements and extreme environmental conditions. Luggage with the highest level of durability and longevity is our priority.

Drop tested

We know you can't control how your luggage is handled. We load up the suitcase and drop it on every face, corner, and wheel, to ensure there is no cracking or denting.

Jerk tested handles

Jerk tested handles: Our suitcases are designed for maximum stability. We test all handles to simulate real-life use to ensure that they remain stable, even from the toughest handling.

Wheels for the long-haul

Wheels for the long-haul: There’s a reason why our custom, smooth-gliding wheels are raved about. We perform a mileage test to simulate everything from rough airport carpets to cobblestone streets to ensure our wheels roll smoothly.

The votes are in

It’s true—everyone loves an original. In 2016, we set out to change the travel game with the launch of our iconic Carry-On. Seven years later, our luggage is still #1.
