Form and function combine to stunning effect in the Away luggage range, which promises to take your packing to the next level. The only hard part? Settling on a colour. Our solution? Mix and match.
G earing Gearing up for that city break in Rome? Booking the next available flight to Ibiza? Revving up to road-trip along Route 66? We have you covered with our favourite travel essentials from Away. These suitcases, bags and packing solutions are the stuff of dreams for those of us who need stuff to hold our stuff. You get the gist?
From the perfectly sized Carry-On to The Jewelry Box - the brilliant organiser you never knew you needed until now - these luggage must-haves solve real travel problems while simultaneously upping your design credentials. Plus, there's the added bonus of feeling smug about being able to squeeze in that extra pair of shoes (or three) courtesy of the smart interior system.
A 100-day trial comes as standard on every suitcase or bag Away makes, so if you aren't feeling it, just send it back - no ifs, buts or asterisks. Something tells us, though, that once you've got it in your hands, there'll be no separating you from your stylish new travel buddy.
This slick, lightweight travel sidekick is designed to make your life easier, thanks to its array of thoughtful details. The 360-degree spinner wheels make for a smooth ride, helping you avoid the wonky walk of shame as you meander through Duty Free; there's a water-resistant laundry bag, so you won't be crying over spilt moisturiser; and the interior compression system means you can maximise on all those unnecessary pairs of shoes. There's even an (optional) ejectable USB charger that can charge your phone up to four times. Who needs a PA when you've got a trusted companion this good?
We are forever seeking the ultimate weekend bag that doubles as an extra luggage solution, and, at last, we've found it. The Large Everywhere Bag is spot-on for packing a few days-worth of belongings alongside your laptop and essentials. Carry it on your shoulder with the handy detachable padded strap, or use its trolley sleeve to pop it on top of The Medium or The Large for bigger journeys. Oh, and there's a full wraparound zip for easy access. You're welcome.
Every now and again, you stumble across a life hack and wonder how you functioned without it. Step forward, Away's Packing Cubes. Compressing and organising everything inside your suitcase, they free up room for even the bulkiest items. They're ideal in the event of spills, as the water-resistant nylon protects your clothes, and are designed with a mesh panel to make it easy to find what you need without fully unpacking. They come as a set of four or six in a variety of colours, and fit perfectly inside the different luggage options. It's a big, juicy yes from us.
When you rock up at the boutique hotel of your dreams, you don't want to let the side down with a bland toiletry bag. Think of the Insta shot! This chic little number is ideal for storing those grab-and-go items in style. It has the signature Away interior compartments, opens wide when you need it to and zips back into its sleek self when it's time to hide away those pamper tools.
Make a beeline for The Medium if you are seeking a stylish playmate paired with plenty of space. We particularly love this in the newly available Lavender option, for a fun pop of colour. Its vibrant vibe will have you strutting along that airport terminal and sashaying into your hotel lobby safe in the knowledge that your favourite threads are happily stowed away. Couple it with The Carry-On to mix and match colours and designs.
If diamonds are a girl's best friend, this functional find is your soulmate. Unzipping it to unveil its secret compartments gets us every time. The flat panel houses up to four pairs of earrings; there's a padded cord for smaller rings; clasps and slip pockets for necklaces; and a roomy main compartment for chunkier items. The days of wasting precious time untangling your accessories and searching for that missing stud in the hotel room are over, and we couldn't be more delighted about it.
Smaller, but perfectly formed, this Everywhere Bag best fits on top of The Carry-On and The Bigger Carry-On. We love the cute little compartments for mobile accessories, and there's even a nifty strap for your keys, so you'll never be the person rummaging for them at the bottom of your bag again. As a stand-alone piece, it would work just as well for a trip to the gym as a commute to the office.
If size matters, you'll be swiping right for this Away model. It still fits in the overhead bin of most major airlines, is light enough to lug in style, and has all the brilliant features we know and love, including a hard shell that will withstand even the roughest ride. It's ideal for longer trips, where you know packing those extra outfit choices would be game-changing but want to avoid the wait at baggage reclaim.
Is there anything more annoying than unpacking your suitcase to discover that a precious pair of shoes has been flattened during the journey? These clever Shoe Cubes feature a collapsible divider, meaning that you can store and separate multiple pairs, and they come with a handle for easy carrying or hanging, too. Available in small or large sizes, they're perfect for everything from slippers to clogs. Because your shoes deserve this level of tender loving care.
