All aluminum everything

We used an aircraft grade aluminum alloy, sourced from the USA, to design our most durable and secure case. The shell, wraparound frame, top corner caps, and hinges are all made from hard-coat anodized aluminum alloys.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Arlo Skye different from other luggage brands? +

Arlo Skye was founded by former Louis Vuitton and TUMI execs who spent a collective 23 years working on luxury products and travel goods. Every product is designed in New York with the same attention to materials and detail you would expect from a luxury house, but sold directly to you at a fraction of the price.

Our luggage uses German Makrolon polycarbonate shells, ultra-quiet Japanese Hinomoto ball-bearing swivel wheels (50mm diameter for carry-ons, 60mm diameter for checked luggage for superior maneuverability), antimicrobial lined interiors that eliminate odors, and a simple yet effective X-strap compression system. We pioneered the first ejectable power bank system in a carry-on and introduced a top-load trunk design that opens like a top-load washer for easier packing, less strain, and takes up 50% less footprint.

Our signature champagne colorway, minimalist aesthetic, and thoughtful details have earned recognition from Condé Nast Traveler, who voted Arlo Skye the #1 carry-on. We have also collaborated with brands like Audi, Palihouse Hotels, Auberge Resorts, and Dusen Dusen for MoMA Design Stores.

Will this fit in the overhead bin? +

Yes — it fits comfortably in overhead bins and airline sizers. We have tested the Carry-On Max on all major US and international airlines. Our customers confirm the same, including on smaller regional jets like CRJs.

The Carry-On Max is approximately 12% larger than the standard 22 x 14 x 9 inch carry-on dimensions, giving you meaningfully more packing space without sacrificing overhead compatibility.

Overhead compartments and sizers are built with tolerance to accommodate luggage from thousands of brands, all of which vary slightly in shape and dimension. That tolerance is why the Carry-On Max fits without issue while giving you extra room that most carry-ons don't.

What is Arlo Skye's warranty on luggage? +

Arlo Skye luggage is backed by a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in parts and workmanship for the original owner.

The warranty does not cover cosmetic wear such as scratches, dents, scuffs, or stains that occur during normal use, nor damage caused by intentional abuse.

If your luggage is damaged by an airline, file a claim directly with the airline first, then contact us. We are happy to send you a replacement part or repair your bag. We don't make a profit on any repairs or parts — we just want to keep you traveling with your Arlo Skye.

For minor repairs like locks, handles, and wheels on polycarbonate cases, we ship replacement parts with step-by-step instructions at no charge.

If your luggage needs to come in for service at one of our repair centers in Florida or New York, parts and labor are free. A $20 flat shipping fee applies for round-trip transit — we subsidize the remainder of the shipping cost. Turnaround is typically 1–5 business days once received.

The warranty applies to purchases made through arloskye.com and authorized retailers only. Products purchased on secondary marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, or Etsy are not covered. For full details visit arloskye.com/pages/warranty.

    Arlo vs Others

    For reference, we have Tumi, Away, Swiss Travel, Travel Pro, and a few others over the years. I still use a Swiss 22 roller from 1998. We were looking for either a Hybrid or All Metal larger carry-on. Having owned those mentioned above, we were also comparing Away, Briggs and Riley, and Rimowa. All the features are similar. The prices vary. In the end, Arlo provided the best value for the dollar for the features we wanted, all metal, no zippers, swivel roller, and a solid price point. I might change a few interior features, but all-things-considered we are extremely happy with the purchase. Wheels are smooth. And I will say this having handles on the top and sides are paramount. The aesthetic is fantastic…it looks more expensive than it is. Would highly recommend

    Best Carry-On Ever

    I have been wanting this Frame Carry-On since I started getting Arlo Skye emails. Fortunately I took advantage of a Spring Sale Event recently and was able to make a purchase my Frame Carry-On Aluminum Edition. I love it. This is the only suitcase I will ever own paired with the Arlo Skye Backpack. They are the perfect combination of style and functionality. Since I will not check-in any luggage on any of my future trips. I would highly recommend any Arlo Skye products. I believe their quality is unmatched. I subscribe to Condé Naste who highly recommended Arlo Skye luggage.
