Away, known for its unbreakable hardside luggage designs, is now introducing The Expandables as a line of durable, water-resistant and extra-roomy rolling suitcases with soft shells. The hybrid luggage designs seem to offer the versatility of a duffel bag and all the portability of a classic rolling suitcase.
The nylon suitcases boast the ability to expand 1.75” and feature Away's signature organization system. As well as including an easy-to-access front pocket for essentials, the design of The Expandables includes left and right compartments that make it easy to separate different travel goods, as well as a compression pad to help people pack more.
Away's newest suitcases are available in a range of colors and styles, including The Expandable Carry-On and The Expandable Large, which provides even more storage space.
