Destination-Inspired Design Features

Japan Edition – Pioneer size (20”) expandable luggage, is crafted for travelers exploring Japan’s layered beauty — from quiet temples in Kyoto to the kinetic pulse of Tokyo — this expandable carry-on redefines what it means to travel with purpose.

Expandable 20” Carry-On Hardshell: Fits most overhead compartments on major Japanese and international airlines when unexpanded. Expands seamlessly for added capacity when traveling by train or staying longer than planned.
Reengineered Handle System: Built with a soft-touch grip and a refined ergonomic curve to ease wrist strain — ideal for long station transfers, uphill cobblestone streets, and efficient navigation through busy Shinkansen terminals.
Removable Travel Tag – Customizable Symbolism: A destination-inspired leather patch that comes with the Nex. logo by default but can be customized to reflect your story. Attached via Velcro for easy personalization — swap it out for initials, Japanese characters, or your own emblem of meaning. Available in all Japan Edition colors.
Removable Utility Bag – Modular and Machine-Washable: Every Japan Edition luggage includes a built-in utility bag — removable, machine washable, and dryer safe. Whether you’re returning from an onsen stay or a rainy day in Osaka, freshen it easily after each trip.
Custom Utility Bag for Purpose-Driven Travel: The utility bag can be swapped with specialized ones (sold separately) tailored for different types of trips: business, family & pets, photography, etc.
Designed for the Realities of Japanese Travel: Smooth-gliding wheels tested on textured station floors and narrow ryokan hallways. Exterior materials resist light rain, scratches, and pollution from urban commutes. Quiet enough to not disturb — even on early morning departures.
