VELO, the world’s first hard-side expandable suitcase

You may have bought various sizes and materials of luggage for different needs, but the truth is many of them are resting in the closet forever. VELO is the one right luggage that can Switch Between Sizes Instantly and go for any trip.

VELO can easily switch between 3 sizes: 16" Small Carry-on;  22" Medium Check-in;  26" Large Check-in. The patented expandable design of the suitcase comes from its extra-wide pop-up handle and the buttons on the top. Press the Button, you can either Pull to Expand or Compress to Reduce the size of VELO in Seconds.  

Durability

The team developed a patented metal frame locking structure that not only prevents leaking but also significantly adds to the structural strength.

Easy to use

Simply press the button, and the handle will automatically pop up. Press the button underneath to transform the suitcase in just 2 seconds.

Accessories

Specially designed soft goods accessories fit the unique structure of VELO Luggage.
