Here’s What Luggage to Buy

If you’ve done any sort of research on popular luggage brands before your vacation getaway, or have spent some time scrolling through Instagram, odds are you’ve come across Away, the trendy luggage brand known for its sleek suitcases and vibrant colorways. The viral New York-based brand is having a pretty big moment right now, following up the launch of their Thailand-inspired The White Lotus collab by officially opening an Amazon storefront.

This is big news, especially because it’s not uncommon to spot musicians and celebs like Harry Styles, Nick Jonas, and Margot Robbie walking Away’s sleek suitcases through airport paparazzi pics. With the brand now expanding its reach beyond even Hollywood, Amazon Prime members can take advantage of fast and free shipping on a selection of Away’s best carry-on and checked rolling luggage, alongside an array of backpacks, day bags, and more. For comparison, the fastest shipping option on Away’s home site (two-day) costs an extra $50 depending on your address, with free shipping taking up to six or seven days.

You’ll see Away at (or near) the top of almost every carry-on roundup, and we think it deserves all the praise its gotten (we even gave it a Rolling Stone Travel Award in 2024). The durable, modern-looking valise boasts incredible organizational capabilities, allowing us to haul more stuff without playing a complicated game of packing Tetris. Several (well-traveled) journalists on our staff use an Away suitcase as their go-to carry-on — you can read our reviews here. I personally have relied on my The Large checked bag alone for week-long work trips, destination weddings and more. On average, I can squeeze eight or nine outfits in my bag, but that number gets smaller depending on how many bulky items (like shoes or hefty sweaters) I need to bring with me.

Though not not every piece of luggage or bag the brand makes will be available on Amazon, you’ll be able to find a pretty good selection of its best-selling offerings there — think the Bigger Carry-on, Everywhere Duffle more. You also won’t find any Amazon-listed pieces on sale just yet, although Away is hosting a sale on some of their travel bags and accessories on their site right now.

Incredibly easy to maintain and store, this bag is the best spacious carry-on for everything from a quick weekend trip to spending several weeks abroad. Slightly bigger than their regular carry-on, it’s also designed with a TSA-approved lock with straps and buckles inside, so you can compress your clothes and keep everything secure.

Away’s checked bag offerings on Amazon include The Medium, The Large, and Trunk luggage. The Large, which remains relatively lightweight at 12.1 pounds, has a shockingly size-able interior; on a recent two-week trip across Germany and Denmark, we were able to fit everything into our Large suitcase without having to bring a carry-on.

For a quick work trip, or a weekend getaway, I’m vehemently allergic to packing a suitcase — Away’s Everywhere Duffle does the trick instead, and we love how reliable it is for shorter trips. I’ve had other personal item bags get pretty scuffed up after years of use, but there isn’t any damage that would compromise the integrity of its water-repellant nylon. The slit pockets hold all my travel documents, plus the main compartment can totally hold enough clothes for a weekend (or longer, if you try hard enough).

Looking for a sturdy, roomy dopp kit? This toiletry kit from Away features separate transparent and mesh interior pockets to keep all your skincare products or makeup neatly sorted and easily accessible.

Whether you’re going on a walking tour of a brand new city, or just commuting to work, Away’s reliable backpack will keep all your everyday essentials secure and organized. The same waterproof material from the duffle is used for this backpack too, so you can be sure your laptop and clothes will stay dry in case of any sudden downpours. We also love the hidden pocket for storing your ID, passport, etc.
