The Aisle

The perfect aluminum suitcase, in every possible way.

It’s more durable and lighter than it looks — because it’s made from aviation grade 502 aluminum-magnesium alloy, molded in a radical hollow shell design, removing any unnecessary weight and making it feel ultra-light.

We designed it, thoughtfully. We added a removable inner compartment that allows you to separate your stow-aways. We added two TSA–approved locks, and 360° spinner wheels — so you can move faster, store smoother and look better when traveling.

Most importantly — it fits everything. It’s small enough to meet carry on size limitations, but big enough to fit everything you need.

• More Durable — made entirely of 502 aviation-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy​
• More Ergonomic — multi-stage lever, slow rebound handle
• More Wear-Resistant — performance rubber wheels
• More Silent — noise reducing materials​

Signature Design

Our aluminum luggage is inspired by the clean, modular lines of our logo and showcases the premium brushed aluminum body. Over time, the durable frame is meant to endure and take on the shape of your travels, including all the dents and scratches of a well-seasoned traveler.

Interior Compression System

Our unique compression system utilizes a removable panel that evenly compresses items for easier closure and fitting in more. Plenty of pockets and straps make packing a little less painful.

Two TSA Approved Locks

We included two TSA approved locks, so you can travel without worrying about theft. Keep your most important items secure –– even in large crowds and foreign countries.

360 Degree Spinner Wheels

We made our carry on easier to wheel with you –– anywhere. With the thoughtful addition of 360° spinner wheels, you can forget you even have your bag with you.

Aluminum Magnesium Alloy

This luggage is molded from aluminum-magnesium alloy — making it insanely durable and shockingly light. Aluminum magnesium alloy is several leagues above any other luggage material — which is why we selected it (it's also the same composition alloy that Rimowa uses). This aluminum is the stuff airplanes are made of — so you can count on it to never crack.

Wear-Resistant Wheels

We equipped our Carry-On with wear-resistant wheels, made of durable rubber. Plus, they’re designed to be shock resistant and ultra-quiet.

Perfect Handle

We made our handle with with:

High strength rod — thickened aluminum
Adjustable lever — multiple adjustments
Ergonomic handle — slow rebound
Fully fitted — precision parts

21.5"x 13.75" x 8"

Our Aluminum Carry On fits most airlines size limitations for carry ons, allowing you to skip check baggage and save time. Plus, you’ll reduce the risk of lost baggage and be able to access everything you need, throughout your travel.

In the unlikely event that your bag luggage needs to be repaired, we are here for you.

All The Essential luggage comes with a guaranteed limited lifetime warranty that covers a repair or replacement of your luggage. Manufacturing faults on wheels, zips, handles, nylon compression strap breakages and specific cracks or breaks in the aluminum shell are covered under this policy.

The extended warranty does not cover any defects caused by improper use, cases that were bought second hand or without proof of purchase directly from The Essential and cosmetic damages such as,

minor dents
bumps
scratches
scuffs
general wear and tear generated from using the case.
Any damage that does not impact the overall functionality of the case.

Please note that over time, the aluminum frame is meant to endure and take on the shape of your travels, including all the dents and scratches of a well-seasoned traveler.

When you shop on The Essential, you’re paying for quality products—not expensive packaging, photography, or promotions. That's why our products are shipped directly from the source, packed by the premium factories that make them, in the same simple, safe packaging they use. Direct. Bare. True.

Aluminum Carry-On

Durable – aviation-grade alloy body
Wear-Resistant — performance wheels
Ergonomic — multi-setting handle
Silent — noise reducing material

Aviation Grade Alloy

We made our carry-on out of the same material that composes your plane –– 502 aluminum magnesium alloy body. This material is used in both instances, because it's famed for strength, hardness, and durability.

Traveler-First Function

This is not made for the occasional day-tripped. This was made for the frequent-and-weary-traveler.

Robust build — passed a 300km walking test.
Compression system — to fit more in.
Two locks — for added safety.
Wear-resistant wheels.
Shock resistant. Ultra quiet.

The Right Size

Not just the right size –– but the perfect size.
Small enough to meet any airlines carry-on requirements, and big enough to fit an entire week of stuff. Plus, it has the two sections (for easier separation) and a removable divider (for flexibility).
Finally, secure it all with two TSA approved locks.
