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.

athena July 03, 2026

suitcase is so cute and works perfect, it rolls so smoothly. i love how it comes with a dust bag for clothes and the case itself. it has nice compartments inside for storage and i can’t wait to use it! worth waiting a year to purchase.

Wonderful suitcase

Jessica July 03, 2026

This is the 3rd away suitcase I have purchased. This time it was for my new husband who needed a new one. He loves the color, function and organization while also being small enough to carry-on instead of check in.
