Headline: A Contender For The World's Cutest Suitcase Also Behaves Like A Cat

Caption: **SUPPORTING VIDEOS AVAILABLE. CONTACT TO RECEIVE.** Have you bought a suitcase recently? They're expensive. And, let's face it, after paying all that money you kind of expect something that's a bit special. Or a bit revolutionary. Or a bit interesting. However, they haven't really changed that much over the years. The last big update in suitcase design was the addition of wheels. And after that nothing has really advanced. Until now. The upgrade comes in the form of Fravel. Fravel wants to go beyond function to bring a human emotional touch to a product category that is largely valued based on feature sets. Founder Aili Jian envisions the experience of walking with her Fravel suitcase to feel like you’re traveling with your pet on an adventure. Instead of just blindly stacking tech in a luggage, the Fravel team wants to integrate tech to make the suitcase look alive. To start off, Fravel features a pair of squishy cat-like jelly ears that move when you touch its “head” or sides. It can even detect motion and make the ears move in specific patterns. When it gets “excited” through a series of touch and movement interactions, the heart light flashes faster as if the suitcase is trying to catch its breath. It will be probably the first time you’ll be playing with your suitcase like a toy. The team have also ventured out and offer an array of pastel fruity macaron colors: banana, mint, cream, strawberry and grape priced at $275 (but with early bird special at $169). The premium cotton candy models feature some jaw-dropping gradient colors: strawberry-banana, grape-mint, strawberry-mint etc. (early bird priced at $295). To stay authentic to its fun personality profile and yet minimalistic design, Fravel comes with 4 little paw wheels and a transparent handle. The almost invisible zipper makes Fravel a step closer to a magical creation. All the materials used are environmentally friendly. The suitcase uses translucent polycarbonate not only because of its lightweight and flexible properties, but also it is one of the most environmentally friendly choices.
