  "account": "Away has released its latest luggage collection, Series 3, which focuses on stability and durability rather than innovation. The company's senior vice president of Brand, Sarah Amidi, explains that the absence of batteries in the new design was a strategic decision, as charging solutions have become more commonplace. The Series 3 maintains Away's signature features, such as the WhisperGlide 360 spinning wheels and the StopLock Brakes system, both of which have been enhanced for smoother and quieter operation. Additional improvements include a telescoping trolley handle with more stopping points and removable, customizable hardware. Other features include redesigned interior covers, more pockets for small items, and a pouch for a Bluetooth tracker. While the Series 3 may not introduce groundbreaking elements, it builds upon Away's successful product with minor refinements to improve user experience.",
  "summary": "Away’s third generation of its iconic luggage retains the familiar design while introducing invisible tech, such as a new wheel system and an improved telescoping handle.",
