A closer look at the Aviator Carry-On

The Aviator Carry-On is Paravel’s signature silhouette in its most refined form yet. Perfectly sized for a weekend getaway or a city staycation, this classic suitcase is equally at home in a marbled lobby, on cobblestone streets or in the departure lounge.

Our Approach to Sustainability

Recycled | Traceable | Repairable

Compare the Aviator Carry-On and Grand

The Carry-On is made for the light packer: a long weekend, a quick city escape, or a trip where every piece earns its place. The Grand is made for longer stays, with room for a week or more of outfits, extra shoes, and everything you pick up along the way. Choose the Carry-On to travel light, or the Grand for the journeys that need more. When you're home, the Carry-On nests inside the Grand.

Tested Before You Travel

Zip Testing
Every zip is pulled to 113kg of lateral force and cycled 500 times, so it won’t split open mid-transit, even when it’s fully packed.
Handle Testing
Every suitcase is lifted, dropped and vibrated by the handle thousands of times under a 30kg load, simulating years of baggage handling, use in overhead lockers and hauling up and down stairs.
Wheel Testing
Every wheel runs 16km continuously over four hours, under a 30kg load. Built to handle cobblestones, ramps, travelators and train platforms.
Drop Testing
Dropped repeatedly from 30cm at room temperature, and from up to 89cm after being chilled to -12°C, when materials are most prone to cracking, simulating rough handling on the tarmac and baggage carousels in any climate.
Trim Testing
Our recycled trim is rubbed 500 times and flexed 50,000 times to mimic years of friction against airport floors, luggage racks, and everyday handling.
