Hello, fellow globe-trotters! Nat here, and let me tell you, this week had a serious upgrade. If you follow my stories, you know my luggage is basically my most important co-star—it has to be durable, reliable, and honestly? It needs to look good on camera!
So, imagine my absolute delight when I received a personal invitation from Heys Philippines to their exclusive product launch in Makati! Yes, the global innovators in cutting-edge, fashion-forward luggage. I was giddy!
The event was held at the chic SBSN Building, and the energy in the room was electric. Being surrounded by fellow travel enthusiasts and getting a first look at what Heys has in store was such a treat.
Stepping Out in Style: The Heys Philosophy
Chatting with Joyce Carpiso, General Manager/Operations Head of Heys, Le Grand Boutique Philippines Inc., really underscored why this brand resonates so well with us Filipino travelers. As Joyce shared, "Filipinos have a strong passion for travel and a growing appreciation for quality luggage that's stylish and durable."
Heys isn't just about getting your stuff from point A to B; it’s about making a statement. They design for travelers who value function and fashion. I absolutely agree! Who says your suitcase has to be boring? Their vibrant colors and bold designs are exactly what you need to stand out—and more importantly, to spot easily on the baggage conveyor!
🌈 Introducing the Star of the Show: The HiLite Collection
My eyes immediately went to the dazzling HiLite Collection. True to its name, this collection is engineered to be incredibly lightweight while sporting some of the most expressive colors I’ve ever seen on luggage. We're talking Flamingo Pink, Aqua Breeze, Sunburst Yellow, and more!
My favorite features for a travel vlogger:
Lightweight 100% Pure Polycarbonate: Less weight for the bag means more space for my camera gear (and souvenirs!).
Expansion System: The zipper-released expansion offers up to 20% more packing capacity. Lifesaver for those unexpected shopping sprees!
360° Dual Spinner Wheels: As a vlogger running through airports, smooth, stable movement is non-negotiable. These wheels look like a dream.
Color-Matched Interior: Little details matter! A fully lined, color-matching interior just makes the whole experience feel luxurious and coordinated.
🌿 Travel Green: The Eco-Conscious ReNew Collection
One of the most exciting reveals for the modern traveler was their commitment to sustainability with the ReNew Collection. This is where Heys truly shines as an innovator.
The entire collection is made from 100% recycled water bottle PET material! I learned that the three-piece set alone uses a total of 307 recycled water bottles. That’s incredible. Knowing my luggage is helping the planet while looking fantastic? Sign me up!
What makes the ReNew Collection a game-changer:
Eco-Friendly Shell and Lining: Even the interior lining is recycled PET and, get this, it’s fully removable for easy cleaning! Genius for keeping things fresh after a long trip.
Durability and Design: Despite being eco-conscious, it doesn't skimp on quality. It’s lightweight, durable, and comes in elegant colors like Atmosphere and Evergreen.
Organizational Accessories: They also highlighted the Heys Ecotex Packing Cubes, made from 100% recycled nylon, to keep your gear tidy while supporting the circular economy.
💖 The Story Behind the Brand
I also had a moment to learn about how Heys came to the Philippines, thanks to Ms. Lot M. Tan, President and Owner of Le Grand Boutique Philippines Inc. Her journey started simply by falling in love with the brand’s design and quality while searching for a luggage scale abroad. It’s a wonderful reminder that the best products are often born from a traveler's real needs. Her team's deep experience in understanding what passengers need at the airport truly shaped their direction!
🎁 My New Travel Buddy!
I’m thrilled to start putting my new Heys collection to the test! Expect to see an unboxing post very soon where I take my stylish new travel companion on an adventure (you know I will!).
If you're looking for your next upgrade, whether you prioritize eye-catching style or eco-conscious travel, Heys PH has clearly delivered.
A massive thank you to Heys Philippines for the warm invitation and the incredible gift! Time to pack my bags... again!
