Sabrina Ionescu Teams Up With Away Luggage in Multi-Year Partnership
WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu, point guard for the New York Liberty, has announced a multi-year partnership with popular travel brand Away Luggage.

A Winning Combination: Ionescu and Away
The partnership follows Away's designation as the New York Liberty's Official Luggage Partner earlier this year. Ionescu, a four-time WNBA All-Star, will feature in Away's campaigns and work with the brand on community impact initiatives through her SI20 Foundation, which supports young aspiring athletes. Her "Gamechangers" top picks include The Bigger Carry-On Flex, The Medium: Aluminum Edition and The Medium Flex.
Ionescu's Perspective on Travel
Sabrina Ionescu emphasizes the importance of travel in her life:
"Travel is such a big part of my life. Whether it’s heading to a game, visiting family, or exploring new places in the off-season, Away has been my go-to travel companion for years. The brand’s focus on quality, performance, and thoughtful design resonates with the way I approach the game. I’m excited to bring my perspective to this collaboration and to work together on initiatives that inspire and support people on all kinds of journeys."
Away's Commitment to Athletes
Jessica Schinazi, CEO of Away, expressed the brand's enthusiasm for the partnership:
"At Away, we’re inspired by those who push boundaries and redefine expectations in their fields. Sabrina is not only a generational talent, but embodies the bold spirit, leadership, and forward momentum that Away champions. Travel and sport are deeply connected, and partnering with Sabrina is a natural continuation of our commitment to empowering athletes and the journeys they take, both on and off the court."
Looking Ahead: Limited-Edition Collection and Community Impact
The collaboration will culminate in a limited-edition luggage collection in 2026, reimagining Away’s classic designs through Ionescu’s unique perspective. The partnership also marks the first collaboration between a WNBA player and a luggage brand, further solidifying Away's support for women in sports and their dedication to quality, performance, and thoughtful design.
