Meet the Away Aluminum Edge Collection, Away’s most significant update yet, with a hybrid aluminium style and the traveller favourite, with the Bigger Carry-On heading up the collection.
Away Aluminum Edge Collection
For nearly a decade, Away has been the name travellers turn to when investing in a suitcase that is both stylish and practical. Known for its minimalist design and thoughtful features, the brand has established a reputation as the go-to choice for those seeking luggage that looks sharp while withstanding the demands of modern travel.
For seasoned travellers making multiple trips each year, Away has become a familiar sight in airports worldwide. Its signature hard shell, patented compression system, and clean design have shaped what people now expect from a carry-on.
Today, that formula takes its biggest step forward with the launch of the new Away Aluminum Edge Collection.
A New Look Away Aluminum Edge Collection
Away describes the new series as the next chapter of travel, and on first impressions, the luggage looks stunning across each of the four pieces included: The Carry-On, The Bigger Carry-On, The Medium and The Large.
A new aluminum edge blends the polish of aluminium with the brand’s signature polycarbonate hard shell, creating a hybrid build that reimagines the familiar look of an Away case.
The shift to an aluminum frame is not just aesthetic but structural, giving added rigidity to the shell while maintaining the lightweight advantage that has made Away so popular. The textured polycarbonate panels now boast a leather-inspired look, giving the cases a premium finish, and colour-matched reinforced aluminium corner protectors finish the new styling.
Externally, other features include custom anodised fittings and recessed TSA-approved locks, which are part of the redesign, and also replace the zippers with a secure latch system.
Inside, the Aluminum Edge Collection retains the features that Away owners expect but with refinements. The patented compression system remains (excluding the Large case), allowing travellers to pack more into a compact shell without the usual compromises. A clip-in pocketed panel adds extra organisation, while a laundry bag with a water-repellent lining separates clean and worn clothes.
Every case in the range is designed with smooth 360° spinner wheels for stability, grab handles for easy lifting, and leather detailing for a touch of luxury.
The new collection debuts in four colourways: Ivy Green, Jet Black, Cognac Brown, and Oxblood Red.
An Icon Reimagined Away Aluminum Edge Collection
The standout piece in the collection is the Aluminum Edge Bigger Carry-On, available in the new deep Ivy Green finish with champagne-coloured aluminum corners and edges is truly eye-catching.
This model has been designed to meet airline cabin size requirements while still providing capacity for longer trips. It offers 43 litres of internal space and weighs 4.8 kg. Away suggests it will suit trips of four to seven days.
The hybrid design, featuring an aluminum frame and polycarbonate shell, gives the case a polished yet practical presence. In practice, the Bigger Carry-On promises to be compact enough to handle overhead bins but spacious enough to feel like more than just a weekend case.
The standard Carry-On is tailored for shorter trips, while the Medium and Large models cater for extended travel. Each one carries the same hybrid build and design cues, from the textured shell to the aluminum frame and reinforced corners.
