Designed to stand up to miles of travel

Mileage that won't give out

Every Away handle design is tested through 1,500 pulls at up to 60 lbs — so it holds up when you grab, lift, or drag it on your next trip.

Wheels that never quit

Before your suitcase logs its first miles with you, it’s already gone the distance. Every design is rolled 480 New York city blocks of simulated travel to test wear and glide.

Zippers built to keep up

The zipper is the last thing you want to think about mid-trip. That’s why we test them up to 8,000 times before they find their way to you.

Built to stick the landing

Baggage handlers aren't always gentle. Our luggage is loaded up to 60 lbs and repeatedly dropped every which way at 10° F — putting the shell to the ultimate test.

The details that make a big difference

Between sizes?

Our customers often prefer the The Bigger Carry-On due to its common, larger size. If you’re deciding between the two, we recommend purchasing The Bigger Carry-On upfront.

The New Misty Purple carry on

Janet July 28, 2026

I bought the misty purple carry on. I bought the sea green carry on and mid size checked bag for my daughter and she loves it so much I had to buy the carry on. I hope Away has the checked bags in the misty purple available soon.

Amazing bag

Rolls Like A Dream

Hatti B. July 15, 2026

The Away Carry-On is durable, rolls effortlessly, and will be perfect for my upcoming international trip. It also matches the rest of my Away luggage, making it a great addition to my travel set.

Finally, a carry-on that I can carry on.

I love the suitcase. It's nice and light, and the color is great. I'm still waiting on the packing cubes so I'll know more when I start packing!
