The 9 Best Dupes for the Iconic Away Carry-On

Long lines and frustrating delays are just two things you're guaranteed to find while traveling. These days, the third might be Away luggage. The now-famous travel accessories brand launched in 2015, featuring a line of minimalist hardside polycarbonate luggage in a spectrum of stylish colors. The model that truly put it on the map was the Carry-On suitcase.

It doesn't take long to see why. The Away Carry-On is sleek, lightweight, and packed with smart features (think: 360-degree spinner wheels and an included laundry bag). For an extra $20, you can even add an optional USB phone charger. The only problem is the $275 price tag, which can force many travelers to look for comparable alternatives.

Ahead, we've rounded up the very best Away Carry-On luggage dupes you can find on the internet. Sourced with style, price, and similar functionality in mind, we guarantee you'll find the right lookalike for you.
