Our Story
Est. 2019 · Toronto
We make luggage for a lifetime of departures.
It started with a broken wheel in a Tokyo airport, and a simple question: why does luggage this expensive fall apart this fast?
Trochi began with a refusal to accept that travel gear is disposable. We spent two years and eleven prototypes obsessing over the parts no one photographs — the wheel bearings, the handle stops, the zipper teeth.
What came out the other side is a case built like an instrument: quiet, precise, and made to be handed down rather than thrown away. We sell it directly, so the craftsmanship goes into the case and not the markup.
Where the name comes from
Trochi is short for Trochilus — Latin for hummingbird. Our Signature cases are each named for a real species: Costa's, Anna's, Black-chinned, Sapphire. Small, fast, and built for distances that should not be possible at that size.
Lady Pink
In 1979, Sandra Fabara started painting New York subway cars. She was the only woman writing alongside the boys, she starred in Wild Style in 1982, and the Whitney, the MET and the Brooklyn Museum collect her work today.
Her original artwork wraps our Graffiti Tag carry-on and check-in — printed across the polycarbonate shell, not reproduced on a label. Most luggage brands cannot buy a collaboration like this at any price.
Three principles
01 — Made to last
Each line is refined rather than replaced for the sake of a season. We would rather you buy one case that lasts than five in a decade.
02 — Quiet by design
The best object is the one you stop noticing. No loud logos, no needless features. Just the few things that matter, done exceptionally.
03 — Honest numbers
Shells are 100% virgin polycarbonate. The Guerilla is built on an aluminium frame. Every case gets an alloy telescopic handle, a TSA combination lock and a 360° spinner.
Every product page carries the external height, width and depth in inches and the empty weight in pounds, because those are the numbers that decide whether a case actually works for the way you travel — and because airlines measure the full outer envelope, wheels and handle included.
