We've got a Softside, and it was worth the wait. Or as Refinery29 put it, "Away is doing what it has always done best — bringing its signature design flair and hardy construction into a lineup of lightweight and flexible nylon suitcases." Now available online and in-stores.
About us
Away is a modern lifestyle brand creating thoughtful products designed to transform travel. Since our launch in February 2016, we have become one of the fastest growing consumer brands in the world. We have sold millions of travel products, grown from a team of four to over 250, expanded shipping to nearly 40 countries, opened seven stores across two countries, and launched several new products and experiences that are inspiring more people to travel the world. And we know that’s just the beginning! In just over three years, we have already been twice named one of Fast Company’s “World’s Most Innovative Companies,” one of TIME’s “50 Most Genius Companies,” one of LinkedIn's "Top Startups," and a Forbes “Next Billion Dollar Startup.” We have also raised more than $156M in total equity funding to fuel our next phase of growth. Today, we’re expanding into new travel product categories including apparel, wellness and lifestyle accessories as well as investing in the growth of physical retail in the US and abroad--with the plan to open 50 new stores in the next three years. Sound like something you want to be part of? We’re hiring!

📣 Another social shoutout so soon after my last one? You betcha. Shoutout to Alice Chen and the social team at Away for this genius and FAST execution. (Also — we loves to see the behind the scenes content) This post is only an HOUR old and has 100+ comments and is ALREADY performing around 3.5X AWAY’s UER vs. their most recent content posts. The secret sauce was that they acted FAST and didn’t overcomplicate it (+ smartly tagged CK in the comments). Have really enjoyed seeing the social content pivots from AWAY the past few months (to learn more, check their content on IG and TT a year ago and watch their evolution). This is the aWAY 😉.
