Company mission
To transform travel through products and stories that inspire people to get away more.
Our take
Away took on a market that was being ignored by everyone else - luggage - and it's had great success bringing innovation to a product that has been unchanged for decades. With simple touches like adding a mobile charging pack inside the suitcase, it has given luggage a huge overhaul. Over the years, Away has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, navigating industry challenges while continuing to evolve it product offering and customer experience.
With this in mind, the company has focused on strengthening its foundations, from refining its core collection to investing in team culture and expanding its retail footprint. Strategic partnerships with leading travel brands, including United Airlines, have further reinforced its relevance in the travel space, positioning Away as a design-led company continuing to grow alongside today's travellers.
