Away has announced a multi-year partnership with New York Liberty guard and four-time WNBA All-Star Sabrina Ionescu.
In addition to the collaboration, Ionescu and the luggage brand will debut a limited-edition collection in 2026, bridging together and reimagining Away‘s silhouettes through Ionescu’s perspective. The two will continue to partner on community impact initiatives through Ionescu’s SI20 Foundation to support young aspiring athletes.
“Travel is such a big part of my life. Whether it’s heading to a game, visiting family, or exploring new places in the off-season, Away has been my go-to travel companion for years,” said Ionescu in a press release. “The brand’s focus on quality, performance, and thoughtful design resonates with the way I approach the game. I’m excited to bring my perspective to this collaboration and to work together on initiatives that inspire and support people on all kinds of journeys.”
“At Away, we’re inspired by those who push boundaries and redefine expectations in their fields. Sabrina is not only a generational talent, but embodies the bold spirit, leadership, and forward momentum that Away champions,” said Jessica Schinazi, CEO of Away. “Travel and sport are deeply connected, and partnering with Sabrina is a natural continuation of our commitment to empowering athletes and the journeys they take, both on and off the court.”
This announcement builds on Away’s partnership with the New York Liberty, which tipped off in May with the brand named the team’s Official Luggage Partner. The company will continue to sponsor the team with various Away travel accessories throughout the season.
This collaboration will mark the first-ever partnership between a WNBA player and a luggage brand.
