Away Holiday Sale Shopping Guide: My All-Time Favorites Plus a Few New Obsessions

But I also understand the reluctance to splurge on a suitcase when you don’t have any current travel plans on the calendar (in which case, I’d love to invite you to check out my guide to finding cheap flights and my list of destination guides). I get it, really, I do. I’ve been there, waiting until I had the need for something, buying the cheap or convenient option out of desperation, and facing the consequences of having to purchase a replacement later.

At some point over the years, I realized I could get ahead of this cycle without overpaying by keeping a wish list and purchasing items whenever I saw them go on sale. It’s always a bit of a gamble, of course (will it go on sale for a lower price later?), but on the whole, it means I rarely have to scramble to buy something at the last minute.


This post is not sponsored but contains affiliate links. While the brand has gifted product in the past, the vast majority of items shown here were purchased by me. As always, I only share brands and products I love and trust.

Today Away announced an incredibly rare sale just in time for the holiday season, and in my humble budget-conscious opinion, it’s a good time to finally click checkout if you’ve been eyeing anything from the modern luggage brand. Frankly, I don’t know when their products will go on sale again.

To help guide you through the sale, I thought I’d share a round-up of my favorite Away bags and accessories, plus a look at a few new launches I’m mulling over.

But first, the sale info, so you can be an informed shopper:


ABOUT THE SALE

If you’ve been thinking of gifting Away this season, now’s a good time to get ahead
→Edit: While the 25% off sale may be over, there are still plenty of goodies in Away's Sale Section

If there’s one thing I know about shopping Away for more than 7+ years, it’s that they almost never hold a sale. Occasionally a sale section pops up on the retailer’s site, filled with accessories from past collections, but this time, the entire site is on sale.

From now through Monday, December 2, you can take 25% off the entire site or store, if you live near one of Away’s retail locations in the U.S., Canada, or the UK. This generous discount brings down the prices of cult favorites like the Carry-On to below their debut price (so you can score one for less than what I paid back in 2017!), no coupon code necessary.


MY FAVORITE AWAY BAGS AND ACCESSORIES

Away’s suitcases are the backbone of the brand, and I’ve found them incredibly sturdy and reliable despite years of heavy use (though I have used their warranty once—an impressively easy process). I also am pretty smitten with some of their bags and travel helpers, too:


NEW AWAY ITEMS I’M EYEING

I’m always curious what’s next for the luggage brand, and the holiday collection doesn’t disappoint. A word to the wise: often Away’s new releases are offered on a limited run (meaning, it’s now or maybe never).


FINAL THOUGHTS ON SHOPPING AWAY’S HOLIDAY SALE

As usual, I’m in the “if you don’t need it, don’t buy it” camp, but if an Away piece has been on your list for holiday gifting or holiday travel, I have a pretty good feeling this is the best time to buy in 2024. Whether you’ve been considering making the switch to the carry-on lifestyle (jump on in, the water’s fine!) or looking to upgrade your personal item that has seen better days, this is a great chance to save a little on your purchase. Just promise me one thing: you’ll take those savings and put them toward a trip, pretty please!
