ABOUT OIWAS
Our Quality
Our products are tested to survive the toughest travel conditions, and then some.
Rigorously tested
To ensure the highest level of quality and durability, we put our products and materials through a battery of 32 tests.
Rethinking the handle
We re-thought the traditional telescopic handle from top to bottom โ upgrading the usual cast zinc tubes to high-grade aluminum, custom-designing the telescopic assembly to fit at opposing 45ยฐ angles (which reduces lateral and torsional movement), and re-engineering the handle release button to be on the underside, where itโs more ergonomic to use. The result: a beautifully sleek, sturdy handle that feels solid in the hand and is also more natural to use. Form, meet function.
Light and unbreakable case
All our luggage cases are vacuum-formed with German Makrolon polycarbonate โ a lightweight, aerospace-grade material that is nearly impossible to break. And because itโs also flexible, it can absorb energy from impacts and spring back into shape โ making it an extraordinarily resilient material.
High-performance 360ยบ spinner wheels
Wheels can make or break a suitcase. When we couldnโt find existing wheels in the market that met our requirements, we got to work on designing our own. Unrivalled in performance and durability, our whisper-quiet 360ยบ spinner wheels glide effortlessly from narrow airplane aisles to bumpy cobblestone streets, and are expertly engineered to withstand the roughest rigours of travel.
Thoughtfully considered
Beyond the practical properties of the materials we chose, we also thought about how they engage our senses. Our interiors are draped in rPET, a fabric made from recycled polyester that is durable, water-resistant, anti-microbial, and luxuriously soft to the touch. As a finishing detail, our signature pattern is debossed onto the fabric, giving it a subtle shimmer.
Details matter
It took more than a dozen iterations before we perfected all the details: from the refined texture and finish of the case, to the precise alignment of components, to the optimal depths of the grooves. All these things might seem unimportant to some, but to us, putting equal thought and care into the little things is how we show respect to our customers. To us, the details make all the difference.
