About a year and a half ago, I decided to invest in a new suitcase. I had big plans—places to go, people to see. And then the pandemic happened and well, it ended up sitting in my closet for a year and a half. I worried that when I took it out, it would be like a time capsule, or like a fashionable dress—so last season. But I’m happy to report that my new suitcase was excellent on my latest trip, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. It stood the test of time and doubled as the perfect travel companion.
The suitcase I’m referring to is Arlo Skye’s Zipper Carry-On Max. If you haven’t heard of Arlo Skye before, don’t worry, neither had I. But it’s the luggage brand you need to hear about. Much like its main competitor, Away, the brand is a DTC suitcase company—but their suitcases are better than their competitors in my opinion.
