I expect my luggage to be as hardworking as the stuff it contains. With limited vacation time, I don’t have time or patience for ripped seams or busted wheels – my travel bags need to be able to withstand the rough nature of travel, over and over again. So today I thought I’d share the …
Note: this is a review of the Original Everywhere Bag; Away has also released a slightly different version called the New Everywhere Bag.
