Our Story
Welcome to Away, the modern travel lifestyle brand redefining how people explore the world with thoughtful, durable, and stylish travel gear. Operating through our official website away-luggage.com, we specialize in premium Away Luggage designed exclusively for modern travelers, blending minimalist aesthetics, functional innovation, and long-lasting quality. Founded in 2015 in New York City, Away was born from a simple yet powerful observation: most luggage is designed by manufacturers, not by people who actually travel frequently. Frustrated by flimsy, poorly designed suitcases that fail real-world travel demands, our founders set out to reinvent the luggage industry and build travel essentials that truly serve every journey.
For decades, the luggage market was split between overpriced luxury products with unnecessary gimmicks and low-cost disposable suitcases that break easily. Away disrupted this outdated model with a direct-to-consumer mindset, delivering premium-grade Away Luggage at accessible prices. Every design decision is inspired by real travel experiences — from navigating crowded airport terminals and rolling over rough cobblestones to packing for short getaways and long international trips. We believe travel enriches lives, and reliable luggage should never hold explorers back from new adventures.
Our Product Philosophy
At the core of every Away Luggage piece is the principle: designed by travelers, for travelers. We craft our suitcases and travel accessories with premium scratch-resistant polycarbonate shells, reinforced corner protection, ultra-smooth multi-directional spinner wheels, and sturdy telescopic handles, ensuring exceptional durability for frequent travel. Every detail is purpose-driven, eliminating redundant decorations while maximizing practicality for daily commutes, weekend trips, and long-haul travel.
Our iconic Away Luggage lineup features intelligent functional designs that solve common travel pain points. Built-in USB charging ports power devices on the go, optimized interior compartment systems keep clothing, toiletries, and travel essentials neatly organized, and expandable designs offer flexible packing capacity for changing travel needs. Ranging from compact carry-on suitcases compliant with major airline regulations to large checked luggage for extended trips, our full-size collection covers every travel scenario for modern individuals, families, and frequent flyers.
Beyond functionality, Away defines modern travel aesthetics with timeless minimalist silhouettes, neutral versatile colorways, and sleek finishes. Our luggage balances sophistication and practicality, serving as both reliable travel equipment and a stylish lifestyle accessory. Every Away Luggage undergoes rigorous durability testing, vibration resistance checks, and scene simulation verification to ensure stable performance and long service life across countless trips.
Our Mission & Commitment
Away’s core mission is simple yet profound: we believe the more we travel, the better we all become. We are committed to making seamless, stress-free travel accessible to everyone through well-crafted, high-quality travel gear. Unlike fast-fashion travel products that prioritize superficial trends over endurance, we focus on creating timeless luggage built for the long haul, accompanying users through countless detours, adventures, and memorable journeys.
We uphold integrity, practical innovation, and traveler-centric design in every product iteration. By cutting out middleman markups and adhering to strict quality control standards, we deliver professional-grade Away Luggage that balances premium quality and fair pricing. We also embrace sustainable travel values, encouraging reusable, long-lasting travel essentials to reduce waste and support eco-friendly exploration.
