Away is an American luggage and travel accessories brand founded by Jen Rubio and Steph Korey in 2015 and based in New York City. Having raised $216 million in financing, Away is one of the highest funded woman-backed startups.
The company primarily sells products online, but also has brick and mortar locations. Away is a direct-to-consumer retailer, so the company bypasses third-party wholesalers or distributors. Its products are available for purchase in the US, Canada and the UK.
