What is Aer?

Aer is a bag and travel gear brand based in San Francisco. The company started in 2014 with a simple idea: one bag that works for both the gym and the office.

Products and positioning

From that first gym and work bag, the range has grown into a full line of carry products for commuters and travellers. It includes:

  • Gym bags and duffels
  • Travel backpacks and laptop work backpacks
  • Slings, briefcases and totes
  • Suitcases in Carry-On and Carry-On Max sizes
  • Accessories such as pouches, laptop sleeves and packing cubes

The products are designed around the needs of people who move between work, training and travel in a single day.

Distribution

Aer sells directly to consumers through its own online shop and runs stores in San Francisco, New York and London. Its products are also available through third-party stockists.

Why it matters

Aer shows how a focused, function-led product idea can grow into a broader bag and luggage brand with its own retail presence in several major cities, while keeping direct online sales at the centre of the business.
