Sold out 6 times: this Dutch luggage start-up introduced a suitcase that changes travel comfort for good
As seen in
The luggage industry had missed something
For decades, big brands sold cheap suitcases with one business model: you buy them again every 2 years.
Every traveller knows the story. €150 suitcase, after 6 months the handle breaks, after a year the lining tears, after 2 years the wheels no longer turn. Then you buy a new one again.
Meanwhile millions of suitcases end up in landfill every year. But nobody seemed to care.
Now a new generation is challenging this with one mission: Make one suitcase that lasts a lifetime.
Meet ONYX, founded by Roy and Vince, two Dutch entrepreneurs who got frustrated by broken suitcases during business trips.
Their solution? The Hybrid Pro, built from German Makrolon® polycarbonate with aluminium edges, equipped with a compression system that creates 30% more space without extra weight.
And the best part? Lifetime warranty.
After 5 years of research, interviews with aerospace engineers, tests in German materials laboratories, prototypes that were deliberately crushed, thrown and run over.
The result: The Hybrid Pro collection.
All the benefits of a premium aluminium suitcase without the weight and the premium price.
Light– Made with German polycarbonate, even the 100L check-in weighs only 4.2kg
Strong– Thanks to the aluminium-reinforced edges it literally survives being hit by a car
Efficient– Bring up to 2x as much with the compression straps and packing cubes
Sustainable - Made from recycled polycarbonate with 100% recycled lining
