The all-new Away Softside line fuses functionality with style and aligns with the preferences of consumers who prefer alternatives to hardside travel bags.
Although Away hardside suitcases provide a functional, quality and stylish solution that meets the needs of many travelers, Away saw the opportunity to cater to a new customer base with softside solutions. The brand found that more than 50% of luggage sales in the United States are softside luggage and over 90 million United States travelers use softside luggage exclusively.
The Away Softside line shares customer-beloved features in a new format: sleek, modern style with supportive design details for travelers like the brand's signature compression system and custom pad. Crafted from lightweight, high-strength nylon, the luggage designs are durable with abrasion-resistant, water-repellant qualities.
