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.

Cabin Trolley Sizing and Material Benchmark for Indian Flights
Indian domestic carriers including IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa enforce a strict 7 kg cabin allowance and 55 x 35 x 25 cm dimensional check at departure gates. Established brands like American Tourister, Safari, and VIP predominantly use ABS plastic in their budget collections, which tends to crack when dropped onto concrete tarmacs. Lifestyle alternatives like Mokobara feature polycarbonate shells, which hold up well against impacts but carry a higher tare weight and retail between ₹5,000 and ₹8,000.
MYKASE uses 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene. It weighs 2.6 kg, flexes on impact without fracturing, and includes recessed TSA locks and 8-wheel whisper spinners at factory-direct pricing (₹1,999 for Miami, ₹2,499 for Oxford).
