There's no denying one of the key components to a successful trip is your luggage. And considering summer is likely a time when your travel schedule is at its busiest — with vacations, weddings, and weekend getaways taking over your calendar — there's no better time to give your current set an upgrade. Luckily, travel brand Away is making it really easy for you to scoop up any size you need (or a whole set) with the newly launched Away x Alex Eagle collab.

Available online and in stores as of June 12, the latest collaboration between the brand and the London-based creative director and world traveler brings a dose of summer-ready color to Away classics. Inspired by Eagle's own memories of sunny summer vacations, each size of the best-selling navy polycarbonate suitcase features a different colored zipper that stands out against the deep blue hue.

Ringing in for $225 is The Carry-On, which bears a soft, sky blue zipper and is the smallest size in the mix. Perfect for an on-the-go lifestyle, you'll have no problem whizzing through the terminal with this little guy. However, if you know you'll need a bit more space for all those warm weather must-haves (but still want to skip checking a bag), opt for the popular Bigger Carry-On, $245, with its new coral pink zipper. And no matter which carry-on size you choose, you'll have the option of adding an ejectable battery that charges your phone, too.

For longer stays and big trips, you should scoop up the $275 Medium suitcase with its eye-catching golden yellow zipper. Or, you can go for The Large for $295 to gain even more packing room as well as a warm olive green zipper. And, true to all Away suitcases, this collection features 360-degree spinner wheels, a TSA-approved combination lock, and a hidden laundry bag. On top of that, you can personalize any of the cases, too.

In addition to the family of suitcases, the collab also offers up a fresh iteration of The Insider Packing Cubes that'll match up perfectly with your new luggage. For $45, you can snag a set of four different-sized navy cubes that each incorporate one of the playful shades into their design. The waterproof, nylon cubes have a mesh panel that'll make your packing and unpacking experience a whole lot more organized and efficient.

Ready to hit the road or jet off abroad? Continue on to scoop up a new suitcase (or two) from this collaboration, and add a set of the packing cubes to your cart while you're at it.
