Away is the biggest disrupter the luggage market has seen in years. You’ve probably already noticed these stylish rollers at airports around the country, but with the holiday season now in full swing, it might finally be time to buy one. The company was founded by former Warby Parker alumnae Stephanie Korey and Jennifer Rubio and it’s best described as “first-class luggage at a coach price.” The regular carry-on starts at just $225 and features an unbreakable shell. Plus, you can get it with or without a battery pack. If you’re worried about the new airline policies about batteries, no problem. With the touch of a button, you can eject the battery.
