There is something so satisfying about hearing the echo of rolling suitcase wheels or the crisp snap from a zipper as it winds around the case. Our luggage is a key necessity of our travels. They follow along with us on our journeys and experiences. And with many stressful aspects already associated with travel, luggage should be safe and secure from the moment we pack, to the moment we arrive back home. Paravel is a luggage company that ensures not only security, but also sustainability.

The brand focuses on three main components: reducing and offsetting carbon emissions, incorporating up-cycled and eco-certified materials, and planting trees throughout depleted eco-systems. They create sustainable luggage and accessories that benefit the environment around us and ensure a durable, long-lasting use. Paravel has gained world-wide recognition for their sustainable products. The company was the 2021 winner for Travel + Leisure’s Global Vision Award for Sustainable Travel Essentials. Along with this, they received the title of Most Responsible Retailer Award by Modern Retail in 2021.

When it comes to materials, Paravel utilizes ethically sourced fabrics and canvases to create their luggage. Negative nylon created by 100% post-consumer plastic water bottles make up a water-resistant fabric. Oeko-Tex Standard 200 approved this fabric, along with the Global Recycle Standard. The canvas of the luggage is created from natural cotton fibers, along with an environmentally friendly silicone coating. As for durability, the Paravel luggage company ensures a strong and lightweight product by utilizing recycled polycarbonate.

The Aviator is one of Paravel’s most popular luggage options. With three styles to choose from including carry-on, carry-on plus, and checked luggage, the Aviator can be utilized for any type of travel. The Aviator was also named the #1 Best Overall Checked Luggage by AFAR.

The suitcase is equipped with various high-quality fixtures. The Aviator’s exterior is polycarbonate, along with vegan leather detailing and a recycled aluminum grade handle. TSA approved locks, 360º double spinner wheels, and a scuff-hiding texture finish make travel easy and secure. The interior of the suitcase consists of a lining created from 15 up-cycled water bottles and includes a removable laundry bag and smart interior pockets.

For shorter trips, the carry-on Aviator can hold up to 2-4 days of clothing and 1-2 pairs of shoes. The carry-on plus is perfect for trips lasting 4-7 days, and the checked luggage is ideal for 8-10 days excursions. And with a variety of colors to select from such as domino black, safari green, and scuba navy, the Aviator ensures a stylish and personalized method of travel.

For any smaller travel accessories and pieces, Paravel offers a wide array of pieces ranging from monogramed tote bags, to card cases to luggage tags. They also sell a “Frequent Flier” kit which includes a Mulberry silk mask set for the eyes and face. The “Wellness Worshiper” kit comes with holistic drink mixes from sustainable ingredients, an immune defense and clean green protein remedy, along with other wellness treats to cure a long day of travel.

But perhaps one of the most beneficial things Paravel provides is a strong community and passion for the environment. They partner with organizations that have a direct impact in areas of reforestation and poverty reduction. Through campaigns for environmentally friendly materials and the utilization of renewable energy, Paravel has created a platform that gives back to the world that we call home. They have planted trees through the Eden Reforestation project by employing people who live in these depleted ecosystems. By partnering with the NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice Program, Paravel actively works to combat the negative impact of climate change in low-income communities.

Any type of traveler appreciates a high quality and durable piece of luggage that can keep up with their fast paced, on-the-go environment. Paravel creates sustainable luggage that is not only made to last but is also ethically made through recycled and vegan materials. After all, to continue to travel this beautiful planet, we must actively give back to it through any means possible.
