San Francisco, CA — Marlowe proudly announces its crowdfunding campaign today with the mission to bring more transparency into the luggage industry.

The creators of Marlowe are setting the record straight for unsuspecting travelers. Fed up with the gimmicks, middlemen and outrageous markups, they decided to launch a carry-on for everyone. Marlowe is a high-end suitcase available at an honest price.

“As frequent travelers ourselves, we expect a lot from our carry-ons. Unfortunately, high quality bags often cost more than a night at the Ritz. We think that is absurd.” said Tom Apel, co-founder at Marlowe.

After surveying hundreds of travelers on their needs, the Marlowe carry-on was designed to deliver:

Exceptional durability: 100% polycarbonate shell, weighing less than 6lb, 10-year warranty
Easy maneuverability: Premium spinner wheels designed to move effortlessly
Clever interior: Compression technology to fit up to 20% more, removable pouch for laundry
Minimalist design: No gimmicks, no unnecessary “smart” features and no outrageous markups

About Marlowe

Founders Brendan Kopp and Tom Apel met while working together at eve sleep, an online mattress company that successfully defied traditional retailers. While they call San Francisco home today, Brendan is originally from New England and Tom hails from Germany. Between the two of them, they see a lot of coast to coast and cross-Atlantic air miles every year.

That’s a lot of miles on their luggage too. As travelers through and through, Brendan and Tom sought out the perfect carry-on, one that was hassle-free, strong and of course, affordable. But navigating the current luggage market made them dizzy.

No matter where they shopped, they always had to compromise. Want durable? Pay an arm and a leg. Accepted by most airlines and light-weight? Settle for cheap and flimsy. There’s no way to win. Until Marlowe. Brendan and Tom designed Marlowe to be tough enough to brave the elements and rack up years of miles, with flexibility and ease to push, tug, and pull in all directions as you race to bring it aboard any US airlines, and at an honest and fair price so that it’s available to everyone.
