Our Story
2022. THE PROBLEM
Thomas, Élias, Hugo, Marco, Jade, Julie, and myself (Jordan) were sitting around a table in a café in Lisbon, reminiscing about how our amazing travels made us happier, when Jade brought up the tricky subject: luggage. We quickly realized how tiring it was to pay extra just for a few more clothes. A few extra centimeters and we had to check our bags, which ruined the whole deal of a low-cost flight ticket. So, the famous question was asked: what if there was a way to avoid this? A revolutionary travel bag or suitcase? We had no idea where to start.
2023. THE IDEA
When Julie explained how unbearable it was for her to try to manually compress all her belongings or roll them up just to gain a few extra millimeters, Hugo had a revelation: “What if we added a built-in vacuum pocket directly into the bag?” The idea quickly gained a lot of traction, and the concept of a travel bag with an integrated vacuum pocket became a reality. Removing the air as thoroughly as possible makes the bag practical and compact enough to save up to 55% more space. We looked at each other and knew we had a brilliant idea. AirBag was born.
2024. The result
Excited by this revolutionary idea, we immediately got to work. We spent the evening sketching designs, testing concepts, and exchanging ideas until every detail was perfected. After numerous trials, we arrived at the ideal design: a lightweight, practical travel bag with an integrated vacuum pocket to optimize space and plenty of storage compartments. We named it the AirBag travel bag, a nod to its lightness and ease. Finally, our project came to life, and we began marketing the AirBag, offering travelers an ingenious solution that transformed the way they explore the world.
