Our why

We believe the more we travel, the better we all become. That’s why our travel essentials are designed to last (and last) for every trip to come, so you can get out there and explore.

Our approach

We’re travelers, and our experiences inform our approach to the things we make. Simply put—our luggage is designed by travelers, for travelers. At Away, you’ll find suitcases, bags, and accessories built with thoughtful details to make each and every journey more seamless. We’re transforming travel to inspire you to get Away more and see more of the world along with us.

Our travel essentials

Our suitcases, bags, and accessories use materials—from polycarbonate and aluminum to water-resistant nylon—that are not only sleek and lightweight, but also high-performing, durable, and ready for whatever comes up along the way. When it comes to our luggage, the details matter, especially since they’re intentional and functional, to make the journey (from packing to unpacking and storing) seamless.
