For decades, luggage was treated as purely functional—black, blue, brown, and gray suitcases dominated airport conveyor belts. Nasher Miles saw this monotony and decided to shake things up. The brand was launched with a simple yet powerful mission: to inject color, personality, and style into travel gear, transforming suitcases from dull necessities into fashion statements.
Breaking the Monotony of Luggage
The biggest challenge in the luggage industry wasn’t just durability or pricing—it was the lack of variety. Travelers often struggled to identify their suitcases in a sea of identical bags. Nasher Miles decided to change this by focusing on bold colors and unique designs. Today, its suitcases stand out, offering a wide spectrum of hues that cater to individual tastes.
Color isn’t just an aesthetic choice for the brand; it’s the core of its identity. Every product is designed with vibrant shades and modern patterns, ensuring that travelers can express their personality even before reaching their destination.
The Online-First Advantage
Nasher Miles started as an online-first brand, leveraging platforms like Amazon and Flipkart to understand customer preferences. By analyzing search trends, clicks, and purchase behavior, the brand could fine-tune its product offerings. It also keeps a close watch on fashion trends, incorporating elements like terrazzo prints, monochrome palettes, and other contemporary designs into its luggage.

But while online sales account for 85% of its revenue, the brand understands that India’s luggage market is still largely offline—75% to 80% of sales happen in physical stores. This realization has led to strategic offline expansion, ensuring that customers can experience the products firsthand.
Affordable Yet Aspirational
Despite its premium appeal, Nasher Miles maintains an affordable price point, with an average selling price of ₹3,000. The goal is to position itself as a “mass premium” brand—offering high-quality, stylish products without an exorbitant price tag.
Unlike cheaper, no-name luggage brands, Nasher Miles focuses on aspirational buyers—those who want a brand they can flaunt without breaking the bank. The company ensures high-quality standards, never compromising on features like 8-wheel spinners, sturdy polypropylene shells, and smart internal compartments.
Building a Youthful, Vibrant Brand
The brand’s marketing strategy is deeply rooted in its youthful, vibrant image. From creative campaigns to visually striking packaging, every aspect of Nasher Miles is designed to appeal to a modern, fashion-conscious audience. One of its signature design elements—having one set of suitcase wheels in orange—has become a recognizable feature that sets it apart in a crowded market.

To strengthen its identity, the brand has also partnered with a well-known young cricketer as its ambassador. His unconventional playing style and bold personality perfectly align with Nasher Miles’ disruptive approach to luggage.
The Road Ahead: Aiming for 10% Market Share
Currently, Nasher Miles holds a small share of India’s massive ₹10,000 crore luggage market, but the ambition is clear—capturing a double-digit market share. The vision is simple: when a flight lands and luggage starts rolling out on the conveyor belt, at least 10 out of every 100 bags should be a Nasher Miles suitcase.
To achieve this, the brand is expanding beyond suitcases. Backpacks, including categories like school, college, and corporate bags, are now a major focus. Investments in marketing and product diversification are set to propel Nasher Miles into becoming a household name in Indian travel gear.
