The turning point
At AirLess®, we know the pain of overpacking and baggage fees — we've lived it. That's why we created a smarter solution. After refining our idea through testing and innovation, we developed a vacuum-sealing bag that’s both stylish and functional. AirLess® isn’t just a product — it’s our commitment to making your travels easier, lighter, and more efficient. Because we believe every journey deserves the best!

The Spark Behind Our Idea
In 2020, we set out to turn a bold idea into reality. Frustrated by the lack of backpacks using vacuum bag technology, we created a durable, sustainable compression system. After countless sketches and iterations, we integrated this concept into a backpack, bringing you the innovative design you see today. Our journey was driven by a commitment to make travel easier, more organized, and sustainable, ensuring every adventure is as effortless as possible.

Refining the technical elements
Working Out the Concept
Amid the challenges of 2020 and the COVID crisis, our concept began to take shape. With a focus on innovation, we set out to create a prototype and find the right partners. Through our established business connections and their expertise in technical fabrics, we teamed up with a trusted supplier. Despite the obstacles posed by the pandemic, we successfully developed our first functional prototype, leading to the birth of Airless!

The Design Process
Our design process is rooted in simplicity and functionality, with a commitment to creating products that stand the test of time. We focus on blending cutting-edge technology with minimalist design, ensuring every backpack not only looks great but performs exceptionally well. In February 2022, we took a significant step forward by filing for our first patent for the innovative compression technology that sets our backpacks apart. With every iteration, we’ve been driven by a passion to deliver both unparalleled quality and sleek, practical designs that make a difference in how you travel.
