Paravel Packing Cubes
Paravel packing cubes come as a set of four: two small, one medium and one large, in recycled soft-touch polyester with a compression feature and Paravel's striped lining.
They are one of four pieces Paravel kept for the October 2026 relaunch. Before that, the brand sold the Packing Cube Quad, an older Trio and canvas Compression Cubes, which still turn up second-hand. Here is how they all compare.
Paravel Packing Cubes (Set of 4)
The 2026 set, as Paravel lists it. Paravel says the cubes are scaled to fit the Aviator collection but does not publish their measurements.

What changed from the original cubes
The count and the sizes match the old Packing Cube Quad: two small, one medium, one large. The fabric moves from Paravel's Negative Nylon to a softer recycled polyester with a striped lining, and Paravel now describes the set as compressing. Paravel also says the cubes nest inside an Aviator for storage.
What Paravel has not said
Cube dimensions, weight and how many cubes fill each Aviator size. Its own pages also disagree on whether the zip pulls and badge are 75% or 100% recycled. Until Paravel publishes sizes, the original Quad's measurements below are the closest guide.

How Many Cubes for Each Aviator?
Paravel does not publish a fit chart. Going by the Quad's sizes and each Aviator's outside dimensions, and allowing for a hard case being a little smaller inside:
- Carry-On and Carry-On Plus: one set of four fills most of the case; the Plus leaves more room around it.
- Grand: one set leaves room for shoes and a coat; two sets fill it.
- Trunk: two sets, plus space for bulky items the cubes can't hold.
See each case's packing space in liters on the Paravel Aviator page.
Packing With Cubes
Roll soft clothes into the large cube and fold shirts flat into the medium, so the two shapes stack. Keep the smalls for underwear, socks and chargers, which are the things you want to find without unpacking. Use compression on knitwear and fleece, not on shirts that crease.
Shoes are better in bags outside the cubes, along the case's edges, where they fill the gaps the cubes leave.
Paravel Luggage Tag
The other small piece in the 2026 range. The tag uses Paravel's striped webbing, is made from 75% recycled material and attaches to any Aviator, the tote or another brand's luggage. Paravel describes it as ready to personalize with a monogram.
Colors listed on paravel.com are Bar Harbor Navy, Newport Red, Nantucket Cream and Rockport Mist Blue, the one shade that does not match a suitcase. Like the cubes, the tag is not covered by the suitcase warranty but can be returned within 28 days.
The 2026 set of four
