Sustainable Travel: Solgaard vs. Paravel Luggage

When it comes to sustainable travel, there are a few things you can do to reduce your impact on the environment. One of the most important is to choose the right luggage.

There are a few things to consider when choosing sustainable luggage. First, you want to make sure that the luggage is made from recycled or sustainable materials. Second, you want to choose luggage that is durable and will last for many years. Finally, you want to choose luggage that is stylish and functional. Two brands of sustainable luggage that I recommend are Solgaard and Paravel.

Solgaard is a company that makes luggage out of recycled materials. Their most popular product is the Carry-On Closet, which is made from recycled ocean plastic. The Carry-On Closet is a stylish and functional suitcase that is perfect for weekend trips or longer vacations. Costco had a deal on the Check-In Closet luggage so we went ahead and purchased the blue one to test out.

Paravel is a company that makes luxury luggage out of sustainable materials. Their most popular product is the Aviator collection, which is made from recycled nylon and vegan leather. The Aviator collection is a stylish and durable suitcase that is perfect for business travel or long-term trips. I have purchased both the Aviator Carry-On and the Grand Checked luggage.

Both Solgaard and Paravel are great options for sustainable luggage. The best brand for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. Here is a more detailed comparison of the two brands:

Solgaard

• Pros:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Functional - has great compartments for those who love organization

  • Affordable

• Cons:

  • Not as durable as some other brands

  • Not as many color options

  • Might be a pain to those who don't like the organizer

Paravel

• Pros:

  • Made from sustainable materials

  • Stylish and durable

  • A variety of color options

• Cons:

  • More expensive than some other brands

  • Not as many features; doesn't have an organizer

Ultimately, the best way to choose sustainable luggage is to consider your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a stylish and affordable suitcase that is made from recycled materials, then Solgaard is a great option. If you are looking for a luxury suitcase that is made from sustainable materials and has a variety of features, then Paravel is a great option.

In my opinion it comes down to 2 things, if you like organization and prefer compartments, then the Solgaard is right for you. If you prefer a traditional luggage that looks and feels durable and luxurious, then the Paravel is right for you. I will note that I bought the cream colored Paravel luggage and it was really easy to spot on the luggage carousel as most other luggage's are black or dark colored.

No matter which brand you choose, you can be sure that you are making a sustainable choice that will help to reduce your impact on the environment.
