The collection features an assortment of luggage and travel essentials, including never-before-seen silhouettes by Away; each thoughtfully designed to equip travelers who are already dreaming of future travels.

Available for purchase beginning January 28th, the new Away x Serena Williams collection features sleek features, new colors, and a custom exterior print that reflects Serena's unique, bold style. Uniting her passion for travel with her desire to spend time with her family, this line includes luggage for everyone—including a Kids' Carry-On, Mini Convertible Backpack Tote, and Pet Carrier—as well as versatile accessories that adapt to any travel scenario.

"With this latest phase of our work together, I'm thrilled to share a collection that speaks to the new realities of travel and highlights my personal take on design and functionality, all with the hope that it can get people excited for the future."

While the world remains at-home, the Away x Serena Williams collection serves to satisfy a continued craving for the return of travel; inspiring travelers to dream of visiting the places they love most. To bring this inspiration to life, Away's creative campaign features Serena Williams playfully replicating some of her favorite international destinations, Rome & Paris, in the comfort and safety of her home.

"Although the world has changed dramatically since we first announced Away's partnership with Serena Williams at the start of 2020, anticipation and excitement for the future of travel is growing exponentially," said Jen Rubio, Co-founder and President, Away. "Serena's role as a world traveler, mother, athlete, and businesswoman gives her a unique perspective, which we are proud to bring to life through this collaboration. If there is anyone who can keep people inspired and dreaming about their next adventure, it's Serena Williams!"
