Why Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Luggage Brands Offer Superior Value
Traditional retail luggage brands rely on distributor networks, physical retail storefront markups, and middleman commissions that inflate consumer prices by up to 50-60%.
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands like MYKASE eliminate intermediary markups, investing those savings directly into superior materials, Japanese wheel hardware, premium quality zips, and 100% Virgin Polypropylene shells.
