Our Story

That’s how it all began.

Go anywhere

When form and structure no longer ask for attention, only the moment truly matters.

Modern in presence. Smooth in performance.
Designed to stay composed, wherever the journey takes you.

If it’s not modern and
smooth –
we don’t make it.

Tired of luggage and travel wares that are consistently old-fashioned, underperforming, and overpriced, we were led to make a difference for those who love to explore the world in a modern and smooth way as badly as we do.​

In 2011, we founded Departure, and started our journey to deliver modern and smooth travel experience to you.​


That's the idea, and the mission,
behind everything we do.


Built for now

Style should be the new functionality of luggage.​​

We believe that style doesn’t weigh any less than quality as luggage isn’t just a carrier; it’s an extension of your taste. From city to suburb, from mountain to beach, luggage is your travel partner and your stylish statement.​

Design to last

We’ve made up our mind to not only offer the best products on the market, but to also inspire a community around doing things the right way — even when the right way is the hardest.

Every piece of our luggage is built with world-class materials, goes through over 100 quality checks, survives 6 quality tests, and is covered by one of the best warranty programs in the world to ensure you explore the world the most without hassles.

Access to more.

To create a world where people can pay less but still enjoy their travel, we leverage three decades of design and manufacturing experience with luxury brands to turn this vision into reality.

While many luxury houses price a single carry-on at around 800 USD or more, ours begins at only 270 USD, not because we compromise on quality, but because we choose not to build the heavy markups that often come with luxury labels.​

Planet over profit

Profit is one of the most significant things driving us forward, just as it does for any company, but for us, we prioritize planet over profit. We hold that by protecting the planet, more people will be inspired by its beauty. Our commitment has spanned decades, but we see this as only the beginning.​

What sets us apart.
