Away, the luggage brand conceived in 2016, just opened its second brick-and-mortar shop in Boston! With the inaugural shop on Seaport Boulevard in Boston Seaport, the Away family grew to a lovely shop on Newbury Street in Back Bay!
About Away
If you’re unfamiliar with the “it” luggage brand, Away, here is the backstory. The founders spent much of their time traveling and were in search of the perfect Carry-On, with features such as a built-in charging bank and a hard-shell case. Unable to find it, they designed it themselves.
The signature suitcase that catapulted Away into the hands of millions was created “by travelers for travelers.” So, each Away product enables you to maximize usage of all the nooks and crannies of your luggage- no more sitting on suitcases.
Not only is Away luggage functional, being named the “#1 carry-on” since its inception in 2016, but the brand merges beauty with function. The ultra chic suitcases, and now expanded array of travel accessories, come in a variety of minimalist silhouettes and sophisticated colors. Boasting industry accolades like Fast Company’s “World’s Most Innovative Companies” and TIME’s “Best Inventions,” Away is the go-to authority for travelers today.
