The Backpack: Arlo Skye x Dusen Dusen

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.

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.

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.
