Heys Philippines, the local arm of one of the world’s most prominent luggage innovators, continues to reinforce its place as a global leader in travel design with its newest production lines and growing presence in the country.
From its humble beginnings in the suburbs of Toronto in 1986, Heys has grown into an international lifestyle brand known for its cutting-edge craftsmanship, fashion-forward aesthetic, and outstanding durability. These are qualities that resonate with Filipino travelers.
“Filipinos have a strong passion for travel and a growing appreciation for quality luggage that’s stylish and durable,” shares Joyce Carpiso, General Manager/Operations Head of Heys, Le Grand Boutique Philippines Inc. “Bringing Heys to the Philippines fits that lifestyle perfectly, as the brand is designed for travelers who value both function and fashion. Each Heys product is known for its vibrant colors, bold designs, and thoughtful details that reflect personality, confidence, and convenience. With Heys, you don’t just travel smart, but you travel in style and stand out wherever you go.”
The HiLite Collection: Where Function Meets Fashion
This year, Heys Philippines launches its latest collection of stylish and functional luggage.
The HiLite Collection marks its debut with its lightweight engineering and expressive design. Available in eye-catching colors such as Flamingo Pink, Aqua Breeze, Sunburst Yellow, Coral Reef, and Island Green, the collection captures the essence of Heys’ aesthetic ethos: luggage that empowers travelers to be both stylish and self-assured.
Made from 100% pure polycarbonate, each HLite luggage piece features a fully lined, color-matching interior with a zipper divider, buckled compression straps, and large zippered pockets for organized packing. The zipper-released expansion offers up to 20% additional packing capacity, while top and side handles ensure effortless lifting.
For enhanced mobility, the HiLite Collection boasts a lightweight aluminum telescopic handle with multiple locking positions and 360° dual spinner wheels, delivering smooth, stable movement from airport check-in to final destination.
“The HiLite Collection perfectly captures that balance of fashion and function,” Carpiso adds. “Beyond its bright, eye-catching colors, every detail, from the color-matched interior to the smooth 360° dual spinner wheels, is thoughtfully designed for convenience and comfort. Its vibrant shades also make it easy to spot from afar on the baggage conveyor, adding both style and practicality to every trip.”
Championing Sustainable and Eco-Friendly travel
As travelers embrace more conscious lifestyles, Heys Philippines responds with innovations that reduce environmental impact without compromising quality. Leading this charge is the ReNew Collection, a modern, eco-friendly luggage line made from 100% recycled water bottle PET material. Even its interior lining is crafted from recycled PET and is fully removable for easy cleaning, promoting long-term usability and freshness.
“Heys has been developing collections made from recycled and sustainable materials, including eco-friendly shells and linings,” Carpiso shares. “It’s part of the brand’s ongoing effort to promote responsible travel.”
Heys Philippines also carries the Heys Xero Elite 2.0, one of the world’s lightest luggage lines, engineered with a unique combination of ultra-lightweight recycled PET materials and components. Complementing this is the Heys Ecotex Packing Cubes line, available in both regular and compressible versions and crafted from 100% recycled nylon, which help travelers stay organized while supporting a circular, eco-conscious process.
Expansion, Collaboration, and Growth
With momentum building, Heys Philippines is poised for further growth through new collections and creative partnerships. “We’re also planning pop-up events so more people can see and experience Heys up close. Beyond that, we’re expanding our presence both in stores and online. One of the projects we’re most excited about is an upcoming partnership with an airline company for a special collaboration featuring our pet carriers.”
Heys products are available in SM Department Stores, Fashion Rack Outlets, and Landmark. Travelers may also shop online via Lazada, Shopee, Zalora, and the official website: www.heys.ph
