Have you ever felt frustrated with clunky, unreliable luggage?

You're not alone…

Away, a brand built on revolutionizing the travel experience, identified these pain points and offered a solution that's as stylish as it is functional.

In this email, we explore Away's story and how they disrupted the luggage industry by focusing on what truly matters to travelers and made $1.4B from it.

Away didn't settle for the status quo…

They saw a market saturated with bulky, poorly designed luggage.

Their solution? Sleek, durable suitcases with built-in phone chargers, and features that catered directly to the needs of modern travelers.

This focus on quality, design, and convenience set them apart from traditional brands.

Away understood that luggage wasn't just about storage, it was an extension of your travel style.

Away's success story highlights the power of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) brands. 

By bypassing traditional retail channels, they were able to:

Prioritize Customer Needs: Focus on features and design elements that mattered most to travelers.

Offer Competitive Pricing: Eliminate markups associated with traditional distribution networks.

Build a Strong Brand Identity: Directly connect with their audience and build a loyal customer base.

The Result? A Revolution in Luggage:

Away's innovative approach resonated with travelers tired of the same old luggage options.

Their suitcases became a symbol of stylish, convenient travel, shaking up a stagnant industry.
