Paravel Luggage
Paravel is an American luggage brand known for the Aviator, a ribbed hardside suitcase made largely from recycled materials and built so its wheels, handle and lock can be repaired.
Why Paravel Luggage
Founded in New York in 2016 by Indré Rockefeller and Andy Krantz, Paravel always argued that a good-looking suitcase can also be a responsible one. Under ATR Group, the relaunched Aviator puts numbers behind it.

Paravel Luggage Colors
The 2026 palette takes its names from New England harbor towns: Nantucket in Massachusetts, Newport in Rhode Island, Bar Harbor in Maine and Mystic in Connecticut. Every Aviator size comes in all four; the tote and packing cubes come in the cream and the navy.
Nantucket Cream
A warm sand shell with silver-toned corners. Lighter shells show travel marks sooner, owners of earlier Aviators found.
Newport Red
A deep claret rather than a bright red, easy to spot on a carousel.
Bar Harbor Navy
A deep navy close to charcoal, paired with the striped lining.
Mystic Black
The most forgiving finish for checked bags that meet baggage belts often.
Paravel Warranty Checker
The 10-year warranty started with the relaunch and covers only Aviator suitcases bought from paravel.com. Two answers settle it.

Will the Paravel Carry-On fit in the overhead bin?
On US airlines it usually will. On paper it is within the common 22 inch height and 9 inch depth limits and 0.2 inch over a 14 inch width. The Carry-On dimensions page checks it against each airline.
