Paravel reviews and discussion

The medium Cabana tote quickly became my go-to beach bag this summer. The bag itself is well-constructed, high-quality and stylish. I love that the medium size has a zipper and that I can carry it at least three ways, even more with the long strap. I especially like that I can carry the bag by the handles and it's not near the ground. It has just enough pockets on the inside to compartmentalize small things, and plenty of space otherwise. Hopefully it will take my wear and tear, but I have a feeling it will do just fine and look forward to bringing it on some weekend trips.

I purchased the medium Cabana tote and was so thrilled when I received it! I went back and forth on whether to buy the small or the medium. Most medium sized bags seem small compared to this one. I is uber spacious! I wish I had gotten the smaller tote for what I want to use it for. However, I am so pleased, as the tote. I will be taking a couple of weekend trips and I look for to using it and showing it off! It is sturdy, excellently crafted and it is all around a beautiful tote. It is a very expense ‘treat’ for me, but this bag is going to last long enough to be a hand me down for one of my kids! I hope to add to my collection! 💜

Love everything about my big weekender tote! Such a cool look.

I love my Paravel tote that I got through Thingtesting! It's spacious, the inside and outside are both beautiful. It is high quality and a sturdy tote bag which is something I look for. I wish the top zipped shut instead of the clasp, that way I could make sure my items are more secure. Not sure I would pay full price for it though. Overall though I love it!

The backpack I have from about 5 years ago didn’t have a great zipper and the feet fell off the bottom. The designs are nice but I probably wouldn’t buy again. Hopefully the quality has improved

I was on the hunt for THE tote. I wanted something a little more elevated than a regular tote bag/backpack but also with enough space for things like laptop, ipad, water bottle, etc. The Paravel tote absolutely delivers! It's very structured and sturdy, so you don't have to worry about it flopping around. It also has more than enough room for work gear, snacks, pool/beach trip essentials and the occassional ~*spicy*~ book of the week for me (IYKYK) All in all- GET THIS BAG!

I received a medium Cabana tote at a discount as part of a Thingdrop. The bag is beautiful, and very well made. The colors are very spot on. I love the material of the bag. It is sturdy and will last for years to come. I didn't realize the medium zipped shut, while the large had a clasp. Looking back now, I'm kicking myself for not getting the large bag. The inside pockets are perfect for whatever you need to carry, but I wish I had just a little more room. If I were to improve anything about this bag, it would be the adjustable shoulder strap. It is pointy, and has already scratched me. Some rounded corners on the buckle would be a huge improvement. All in all, this bag is an A+! It will last you for years, and you can feel the quality!

My last suitcase, a hasty TJ Maxx purchase, lasted me over twenty years before the zipper broke and I was forced to find a replacement. I had toyed with the idea of buying a sleek hardshell case for a long time. I pored over every direct-to-consumer suitcase brand website for months until I finally came across Paravel. Paravel stands out as a chic timeless option with so many beautiful details including vegan leather trim, a laundry bag, reeded exterior, etc. The suitcase is sturdy, lightweight, and thoughtfully designed. It's less ubiquitous than other options, and I get complimented on it all the time. The bigger carryon size has been perfect for business trips and short vacations, and has fit easily in the overhead bin. I love that they sell packing cubes, toiletry bags, and accessories in coordinating colors. I'm looking forward to purchasing additional pieces to add to my luggage suite.

I love this suitcase! It's the perfect size for carryon travel, the wheels are wonderful and smooth, and you can still squish more than you think in here like a traditional soft-sided suitcase. I love my colorway (green/tan) too!

Beautiful bag that looks great. Excellent for the beach. I do think the medium is a little too small for a family of four for the pool or beach. Also would be nice if there was another zipper compartment inside the bag.

Very stylish and good quality… not too pricey. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on my green carryon luggage from Paravel. I also love their transparent shoe bags. I also saw Paravel luggage on an episode of Succession, which helped validate my purchase even more. Lol. Guess the show’s producers believed the products gave “quiet luxury” vibes…I agree and like that Paravel’s products are classic and not super flashy with designer emblems/logos everywhere. The latter is just asking to be taken.

I order the medium tote and was pleasantly surprised with the size. It will fit my laptop and a change of clothes for the gym. I have only used it a few times but it is sturdy and well make with the top zipper being really valuable for the subway.

The Aviator set was one of the best splurges I’ve ever made. Unlike my last luggage set, Paravel’s bags glide around like butter. They made bobbing and weaving through Atlanta’s airport a breeze. Every time I pull the bag out and see “Paravel” on the dust bag, it makes me feel like I’m about to go on a fantastical trip, like to Cair Paravel in the of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Plus they look gorgeous and make even a boring work trip feel a bit more luxurious.

Medium cabana tote. I ordered the bag with monogram on a Thursday and paid for express shipping. It arrived with a ripped open plastic bag, and no receipt or monogram on Monday afternoon. Took them til Tuesday morning to get back to me. I told them I needed it delivered Wed am at the latest. They said ok. But Tuesday at 8 pm FedEx still had not picked up the order from their warehouse and when I emailed to cancel they (immediately this time) wrote back and said sorry no can do. Equal or higher quality products with better customer service widely available. Must be they are struggling to launch. Shop elsewhere.

It feels like a miracle that this suitcase is sustainable without sacrificing anything in quality or beauty. I can't decide if my favorite aspect is the smooth wheels or the compliments from strangers in the airport. I like mine so much that I keep buying them as gifts. Would highly recommend!

Terrible customer service. These guys don’t bother to read and respond accordingly. If there are any issues with their product, wait until they decide to respond back or NOT.

I'm a paravel aficionado - I love everything from their packing cubes to their luggage. I love the brand's focus on sustainable materials and am so impressed by the quality of the products. I love my Safari green carry on plus the most! Can't travel without it - it has the smoothest wheels ever.

I love the Carry-On Aviator. It feels sleek in the airport and is roomy enough for an extended weekend. Owned it for over a year now and it's held up well. A few scratches but it looks new for the most part.

Absolutely horrible customer service and shipping. I ordered a carry-on on Dec7, hoping to use it for travel on Dec 18. Paravel sends an email after purchase that I will get a tracking number when the item ships, but that fulfillment could take 5-7 days due to carrier delays. Don't hear anything. On day 7, I reach out to customer service and they say that they will expedite my shipping (on them) and they will personally follow up with a tracking number (idk why you would need to personally send a tracking number, why is that not automated?). 3 days later, still no tracking number, I follow up again. silence. day before travel, still no bag, no tracking, nothing. starting to think I will never get this bag.
