He was far away has established itself in the luggage and travel accessories category for many years and the company continues to release new and inventive products every season. But Away luggage doesn't come cheap, with a basic carry-on starting at $275 and a checked bag starting at $345.
That's why we're big fans of this suitcase from Brandless, a company that's less about labels and more about value. Case in point: This hard-faced spinner, which you can get right now for just $99 — $240 less than a similar suitcase from Away.
It's not just a great option for an off-site alternative — it's a great deal on luggage, period.

We've been using our branded suitcase for over a year and it's held up to multiple flights, road trips and crazy airport runs with ease. The rolling suitcase has a lightweight polycarbonate shell with reinforced corners to protect the bag from bumps and dents.
The four Hinomoto wheels are smooth and tangle-free, even on grass or thick carpet. We also like the telescopic handle, which can be adjusted to two different heights.
Inside, find two compartments to store your things. Use the zippered compartment to keep shoes and accessories organized, then place your clothes in the other compartment, which has two adjustable flaps to keep your stuff “tied up” inside. There are also plenty of pockets for additional storage options.

What we love: this is not only an affordable suitcase, it's also eco-friendly, with a recyclable polycarbonate shell and inner lining made from recycled PET plastic (i.e. plastic bottles).
At 18.5″ wide x 10.8″ long x 25.8″ high, it’s a bit larger than carry-on dimensions, but not so big that you’ll be lugging around a huge suitcase. It's an ideal carry-on bag for a week-long holiday or long weekend getaway.
As a fan of Away luggage, that's not bad at all. The only major difference: Away's suitcase has a horizontal striped design on the outside, while the Away dupe we love has vertical piping. Since everyone else is using Away, it was easy for us to locate our suitcase as well.
