Arlo Skye

Arlo Skye is a New York direct-to-consumer luggage label started by former Louis Vuitton and Tumi executives Mayur Bhatnagar and Mauricio Issa Llano. It builds minimal, logo-free hard-shell cases: zipperless aluminum-alloy carry-ons and checked trunks with clamshell latch closures, full-grain leather handles, hushed spinner wheels and, on some models, a removable battery pack. A polycarbonate zipper line sits below the metal range, joined by packing cubes, garment bags and small leather travel goods. Colourways stay muted, with occasional limited-edition finishes. The brand remains independent and sells mainly through its own site.
