Couldn’t resist this matching carry-on, after buying the medium-flex in that delightful lavender haze (matte) color. Same fine workmanship and inside organization

This is my third purchase on Away and I absolutely love them. This one is spacious and has all the features you need for a short trip. The colour is exactly as pictured. It's a bit more compact than the...

The Away folks have been super responsive to any, even minor, warranty issues. The suitcases themselves have been amazingly resilient to the travesties related to international travel and baggage handling. We have three suitcases, one is the largest they have,...

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.
