Away kicked off its inaugural designer program with a capsule collection of stylish suitcases made with Sandy Liang, Tia Adeola and Ji Won Choi. For this collection, Away asked the designers to put their own unique stamp on its Large Everywhere Bag, Front Pocket Backpack and Travel Pouch Set. The result is a colorful rendition of favorite travel essentials that speak to different style preferences—while Liang's contribution is whimsical, Adeola's bag is feminine, luxurious and ruffled.
This capsule collection from Away follows in the footsteps of numerous brands and retailers that have found success in designer partnerships. Beyond its work with these collaborating partners, Away plans to continue its designer program for years in the future.
