Studio brand - designed and built by Wetals Studio.

01 / The brief

Size is the whole sale.

Luggage shoppers fly often, hate gate-check fees and can't hold a case before they buy. Portavia needed a warm, color-led storefront that shows every size to scale, explains US carry-on rules and makes building a set feel easy.

02 / Research

What the best luggage stores get right.

  • Engineering builds confidence

    The strongest stores show how a case is built, with exploded views and restrained, cinematic heroes.

  • Nobody shows travel in motion

    Few heroes show the product in a real travel moment, so the bag never feels like part of the trip.

  • Will it fit is half answered

    Product grids rarely show true relative sizes, and airline fit help is hard to find.

03 / Signature features

Three features built for this brand.

  • Portavia Size line-up
