Heys Philippines, the local arm of one of the world’s leading luggage innovators, continues to strengthen its presence in the country through new product lines and sustained growth in the travel design market.
From Canadian Roots to Global Recognition
Founded in the suburbs of Toronto in 1986, Heys has evolved from a small luggage maker into an international lifestyle brand recognized for its superior craftsmanship, fashion-forward designs, and remarkable durability. These qualities have made it a favorite among Filipino travelers who value both style and performance in their luggage.
“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: Designed for the Modern Traveler
This year, Heys Philippines introduces its latest range, the HiLite Collection. This collection embodies the brand’s hallmark blend of fashion and functionality, showcasing lightweight engineering and expressive design.
The HiLite Collection features luggage in striking colors such as Flamingo Pink, Aqua Breeze, Sunburst Yellow, Coral Reef, and Island Green. These vivid tones capture the energetic and confident spirit of modern travelers. Each piece is crafted from 100% pure polycarbonate, ensuring strength and flexibility while remaining lightweight.
Inside, the fully lined color-matching interior includes a zipper divider, compression straps, and large zippered pockets for efficient organization. A zipper-released expansion system adds up to 20% extra packing space, while top and side handles provide easy lifting.
For smooth mobility, every HiLite model is equipped with a lightweight aluminum telescopic handle with multiple locking positions and 360° dual spinner wheels for seamless movement across various surfaces.
“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.”
Sustainable Innovation for Conscious Travelers
As more travelers embrace eco-friendly lifestyles, Heys Philippines answers the call for sustainability through innovative collections that minimize environmental impact. Leading this effort is the ReNew Collection, a modern line crafted from 100% recycled PET material sourced from water bottles. Its interior lining, also made from recycled PET, is fully removable for easy cleaning, ensuring durability and freshness over time.
“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.”
The brand’s commitment to sustainability extends to other key products, such as the Heys Xero Elite 2.0, one of the world’s lightest luggage lines. It is engineered from ultra-lightweight recycled PET materials, combining strength with minimal weight for effortless travel. The Heys Ecotex Packing Cubes, available in regular and compressible versions, are made from 100% recycled nylon and help travelers organize their belongings while supporting a circular, eco-conscious process.
Growth Through Partnerships and New Experiences
With its expanding lineup and growing market share, Heys Philippines is preparing for further growth through new collaborations and customer engagement initiatives. “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.”
The brand continues to broaden its reach through strategic retail and online channels. Heys products are available at SM Department Stores, Fashion Rack Outlets, and Landmark. Travelers can also shop online via Lazada, Shopee, Zalora, and the official Heys Philippines website at www.heys.ph.
Through its innovative collections, sustainable initiatives, and strong retail network, Heys Philippines reinforces its role as a leader in travel design. The brand’s commitment to function, fashion, and responsible travel ensures that every journey reflects both purpose and personality.
