A sustainable future

We’re all guests on this planet, so it’s our responsibility to tread lightly and give back.

Our commitment

Travel mindfully. Tread lightly.

As conscious travellers, we’re committed to using our business as a force for good. From the timeless design of our products to the non-profit organizations we partner with, our aim is to tread lightly and have a positive impact on the world around us. After all, our planet gives us so much to explore, and it’s our responsibility to protect the place we call home.

Our product

Less but better

Our “less but better” philosophy is based on the fundamental connection we see between good design and sustainability. In efforts to reduce waste and our environmental impact, we design our products to stand the test of time in both design and quality – to be trustworthy travel pieces that will accompany you on a lifetime of journeys.

Sustainable by design

As part of our cruelty-free commitment, we source the highest quality vegan alternatives wherever animal-derived materials are traditionally used, like in the construction of our bags and luggage tags, and the detailing in our suitcases. We’ve also taken care to choose packaging that is recyclable, reusable, or both. And when we ship orders with multiple products, we use a nesting system to ship your goods in the most efficient way possible, reducing the amount of packaging needed and emissions generated.

Our Climate Actions

Climate Neutral certified

Premium travel products shouldn’t have to come at our planet’s expense – that’s why we’ve partnered with Change Climate to measure and reduce our carbon emissions in every aspect of our business. Our Climate Neutral certification is the gold standard for companies achieving net zero carbon emissions. We take pride in being the first luggage brand to join this community of industry leaders and put climate change solutions into action.

Measure and reduce

As a Climate Neutral Certified business, we’ve met the following reduction targets. We will continue to measure, reduce, and offset operational emissions to meet Change Climate’s requirements.

  • Decrease the number of avoidable split shipments to customers by 30% using 2022 numbers as a baseline.
  • Decrease the number of air freight shipments by 50% using 2022 as a baseline.

Our Community

Veritree

We’ve partnered with veritree to support reforestation efforts in the Old Bonjoge Forest, a 2,000-hectare forest near Kisumu City, Kenya. Much of the forest has been overharvested – this project will establish nurseries to produce and protect fruit and bamboo tree seedlings that can be transplanted, and begin to restore the regional ecosystem. This partnership will result in the planting of nearly 1.3 million trees in the area over the next 12 months.
