Recycled | Traceable | Repairable

100% of all Paravel products are made from recycled materials. We believe that luxury and sustainability can coexist, and that great design translates everywhere you go.

Traceability

Every step of our supply chain is fully traceable, start to finish. We believe transparency isn't a bonus, it's the standard. Each product carries a digital Product Passport, tracing materials and production from start to finish.

Repair not Replacement

Designed to last, not become landfill. Every Aviator suitcase is made with replaceable components, including wheels and handles, designed to keep luggage in use rather than replace it.

Durability & Longevity 

Paravel is made to be kept, not replaced, so your luggage can travel with you for years to come. We design with durability in mind and undergo 40 performance tests, the best in our category. They roll for miles, get dropped in sub-zero cold, and are put through thousands of zipper, handle, and trim test cycles.

Tested Before You Travel

  • a zipper with metal clasps a zipper with metal clasps

    Zipper Testing

    Every zipper is pulled to 249lb of lateral force and cycled 500 times, so it won't split open mid-transit, even when it's fully packed.

  • a metal piece of luggage a metal piece of luggage

    Handle Testing

    Every suitcase is lifted, dropped, and vibrated by the handle thousands of times under a 66lb load, simulating years of baggage handling, using overhead bins, and hauling up and down stairs.

  • a close up of a suitcase a close up of a suitcase

    Wheel Testing

    Every wheel runs 10 miles continuously over four hours, under a 66lb load. Built to handle cobblestones, ramps, moving walkways, and train platforms.

  • a close up of a luggage a close up of a luggage

    Drop Testing

    Dropped repeatedly from 12 inches at room temperature, and up to 35 inches after being chilled to 10°F, when materials are most prone to cracking, simulating rough handling on tarmacs and carousels in any climate.

  • a pile of black pieces of wood a pile of black pieces of wood

    Trim Testing

    Our recycled trim is rubbed 500 times and flexed 50,000 times to mimic years of friction against airport floors, luggage racks, and everyday handling.
