4.5

Paravel earns strong reviews for stylish, lightweight luggage and totes that travel beautifully—gliding wheels, roomy interiors, thoughtful compartments, and recycled materials impress—yet the brand draws criticism for scuff-prone light colors, occasional comfort and hardware issues, and notably poor customer service and fulfillment. Overall, Paravel is good for design-forward, durable travel pieces like the Aviator carry-on and Cabana totes, but buyers should weigh zipper, strap, and service concerns.

  • Love my paraval suitcase! Wheels very well even on cobblestone. I also love that some of the pieces are made from recycled water bottles. Fits quite a bit and is very light so the weight doesn’t contribute to the limit. I did get beige, and I noticed that it sometimes scuffs, but it’s easy enough to get most of the scuffs out.

  • I took some time before reviewing to really see how functional the tote can be. This tote is by far my favorite and most versatile one yet. I used it for one of my recent trips. It can fit so much, looks amazing and overall a wonderful tote. I highly recommend getting the tote and will be looking into further items.

  • I actually received the fold-up backpack last Christmas, and hadn't had much of an opportunity to put it to use until recently. I regret not using it sooner though. It's a generous size, despite packing down pretty small, the straps are not padded, but they're still comfortable with a decent amount of weight, the bottom is slightly padded, and there's a kind-of lumbar pocket that can be unzipped to act as a luggage pass through which is just awesome. This bag was definitely designed by travelers, and it feels really durable and high-quality without being too heavy or bulky. The monogramming is also really nicely done. Overall I'm a big fan and will probably get more pieces from Paravel.

  • Love my medium bag. It travels perfectly, fitting a ton of stuff while maintaining it's shape and sits perfectly on top of the away bigger carry on (although, fully filled, it doesn't balance on top of the suitcase and requires being held). I can shove it under the seat in front of me on an airplane, and I like all the compartments to keep stuff organized.
