Aer’s very first venture into the luggage industry has been met with much aplomb. Aer was created a decade after the company’s first venture into luggage, which began as a crowdfunding project that combined a gym bag with an office bag to create a single simplified design. Since its humble beginnings, in 2014, Allen Choi was appointed as the Founder and Director of Design. Ten years later, Aer has grown steadily.
It’s never an easy task to pick a new piece of luggage. When I first heard about Aer, my initial thoughts were that it might be an abbreviation for aerodynamic, which is exactly what an upscale suitcase should be – clean lines combined with a minimalist and stylish look. Aer’s Aer Carry On has achieved this. I chose Black because it has a matt finish. Dark Olive, Fog White Safety Orange and Pale Mauve are available for the adventurous suitcase fanatics.
A good suitcase needs to stand the test of time, and a great suitcase will go one step further in maintaining pliability against the severities it might endure during travel – from being handled by many to putting the brakes on! Featuring an ultra-durable Makrolon® polycarbonate hard shell exterior and Hinomoto miraclent® metal bearing wheels, the Aer Carry-On will retain its shape and glide silently through the airport. Offering four different height settings for comfort and stability, Aer’s patent-pending triangular trolley system is a revolutionary advance in luggage design, while the built-in Hinomoto wheel brake system guards against unnecessary rolling.
My favorite parts are: The removable compression pad with a state-of-the-art Fidlock® magnetic fastener and being able to differentiate between which items I have worn from the ironed ones with the clever separate compartment on the opposite side! Aer even has the eco-conscious consumer in mind with the sustainable CORDURA® re/cor™ recycled nylon ripstop. The integrated TSA combination lock or Premium leather luggage tag will ensure that your luggage is never lost again. Aer’s Carry-On is the perfect suitcase – in looks and size for those unforgettable journeys.
