6 times sold out: this Dutch suitcase startup introduced a suitcase that changes travel comfort forever
As seen in
The suitcase industry had missed something
For decades, major brands sold cheap suitcases with one business model: you buy them again every two years.
Every traveler knows the story. €150 suitcase, after six months the handle breaks, after a year the lining tears, after two years the wheels no longer turn. Then you buy a new one.
Meanwhile, millions of suitcases disappear into the garbage dump every year. But no one seemed to care.
Now a new generation is challenging this with one mission: Create one suitcase that lasts a lifetime.
Meet ONYX, founded by Roy and Vince, two Dutch entrepreneurs who became frustrated with broken suitcases during business trips.
Their solution? The Hybrid Pro, built from German Makrolon® polycarbonate with aluminum edges, equipped with a compression system that creates 30% more space without adding 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 mangled, thrown, and run over.
The result: The Hybrid Pro collection.
All the benefits of a premium aluminum suitcase without the weight and premium price.
Lightweight – Made with German polycarbonate, even the 100L check-in weighs only 4.2kg
Strong – Thanks to the aluminum reinforced edges, it literally survives a car crash
Efficient – Carry up to twice as much with compression straps and packing cubes
Sustainable - Made from recycled polycarbonate with 100% recycled lining
