We’ve finally reached the point where each day we’re one step closer to the end of the pandemic. Vaccines are in progress. Restrictions are lifting. And the prospect of travel (remember that?) is on the horizon.
Expedia’s latest Vacation Deprivation study, released last month, found—shockingly—that 64% of respondents identify as “vacation deprived.” A third of participants said they planned to get away “to make up for lost time in 2020.” Likewise, Airbnb’s pandemic response survey found that people feel “significantly happier” and more hopeful when thinking about their post-COVID-19 vacation plans. With those wanderlust fantasies soon to be realized, isn’t it time you bought some new luggage?
Away is holding its second-ever sale, with 30% off a select batch of its best-selling and fan-favorite totes, bags, and luggage. This includes the brand’s core collection and limited-edition collaborations. So if you’ve had the Away x Serena Williams Carry-On in your cart for a while, now is the time to hit the checkout button.
Away’s sale runs through March 30 online and in stores. Need some inspo? Here are our favorite picks from the sale.
The Medium roller suitcase
Actress Rashida Jones’s collab with the brand launched in the near-middle of the pandemic, so she turned to her homestead surroundings for inspiration. We extra love this take on Away’s Medium roller luggage in a serene blue gradient inspired by nature.
The Everywhere Bag
Okay, maybe air travel isn’t in your near future (but maybe your future future). So here’s a compromise: a sleek, rounded duffle that’s more business class than gym class. The leather Everywhere Bag is softly structured and designed to hold your laptop, accessories, and an umbrella—plus, a weekend’s worth of clothes.
The Expandable Bigger Carry-On
The Carry-On is the bag that launched the Away brand. So when it came time to iterate, making it even bigger made sense. For those who don’t pack light, there’s the Expandable Bigger Carry-On: a slightly larger, super lightweight, durable rolling suitcase that can still fit into an overhead bin.
The Expandable Large
Looking for a bag that can fit a week’s worth of clothes for for a family of four? This is it: enormous, durable, expandable, and remarkably lightweight. Just beware of going over that baggage weight limit!
The Latitude Tote
Remember commuting? That’s around the corner, too. And the perfect work tote is hard to resist. We like the simplicity of the Latitude Tote: roomy, monogrammable, and designed to slip over the handles of your rolling luggage with a secure fit.
Anything from the Serena Williams collab
So good they did it twice: Tennis powerhouse Serena Williams first partnered with the brand in February 2020, and followed up a little less than a year later with a second drop of patterns and shades. Still, we’re dreaming of her original bold, ruby-red roller bag—you’ll never lose it in baggage claim.
The Mini
I’m sorry, these are just too cute. How could you not?
