Away’s new shiny luggage is the update the brand needed

As a trade editor, I am constantly testing, reviewing, and receiving new products for my work. I say this because, with everything that crosses my desk, it’s been a minute since something really surprised me. We’re talking jaw-dropped-I-need-this-immediately. captive. Get into: far shiny new suitcases.

I attended Away’s (a disco on wheels, very appropriate!) Christmas preview event earlier this month, and literally stopped in my tracks when I saw the suitcase of the day. It is different from any luggage I have seen: has a glitter injected hard case It has such full coverage and such a satisfying shine that it has that satisfying, almost diffused tactile shine look.

Then it has a really cool glossy hardcoat. on the shine, so it doesn’t scuff and leave shine in your path as you leave the airport (which is a must if you’re carrying this suitcase).

In my opinion, the photos in the Absent site and the campaign doesn’t do it justice. You need to see it in real life, preferably under the light of a disco ball. It comes in two colors: supernova silver and galaxy blue.

I mean, LOOK AT THAT SHINE.

I bet if you clicked on this, you’re already familiar with Far. But in case you’re not, I affectionately call it the Warby Parker of luggage. (Remember in the early 2010s when Warby Parker revolutionized online eyewear ordering? Yeah, Away was kind of like that for luggage in 2016.) And although the DTC luggage market is much more saturated today, you still see millions of Away suitcases every time you visit baggage claim.

I have owned my Larger carry-on luggage since Christmas 2019 (thanks, Dad!) and has served me well over the past five years. I’ve taken it on almost every flight since then, from long European vacations to quick weekend trips, and it has worked wonderfully. The exterior is a little scuffed and worn, but the wheels, handle, and zipper are as sturdy as ever. This brilliant version is exactly the same durable Away suitcase we all know and love.he’s simply dressed in his vacation best.

The color galaxy blue, shining like the star it is.

TBH, I can’t think of a better one gift for the jet set in your life: This vintage-inspired case is like a miniature trunk: big enough to store and organize makeup, toiletries, and tech, but small enough to fit inside a personal itemlike a large bag or travel backpack. It comes in five other colors if, for some reason, you don’t like the glitter (I can’t relate!).

Seriously, it’s been a long time since I’ve been scared of a new color combination like this. I bet it will sell out before the holidays, so be like me and add yours to cart to never lose track of your bags on the carousel again.
