Away launches Series 3 luggage without built-in battery
Away has released its third generation of Carry On luggage at its New York design studio with the ejectable battery removed from the design.
Design shifts away from smart features
The new Series 3 Classic and Flex models focus on traditional durability rather than embedded technology. Sarah Amidi, senior vice president of Brand, stated that the company aims for pieces to last the next 10 years. This approach marks a move away from being labeled as a disruptor in the travel accessory market.
Previous battery model discontinued since 2023
The ejectable portable battery has not been available in Away luggage since 2023 according to company statements. Earlier models included a USB port for charging phones, but current regulations and market changes influenced the new direction. The design team now prioritizes invisible tech that supports long-term use without gimmicks.
