Empowering Communities
Student Collaborations
In Hong Kong, we worked with students at the Polytechnic University Design School in Hong Kong to improve LOJEL’s retail environment by using manufacturing waste and damaged suitcases, presenting a real-world issue for students to be a part of solving. The teams worked closely with LOJEL to provide impactful solutions that mitigated waste and bettered the community while upholding design principles in a functioning store location. The chosen team worked closely with the LOJEL team to bring their ideas to reality.
Luggage Donations
Through the production process, we will occasionally have luggage that is in functional working condition, but unable to be sold due to minor cosmetic issues. In 2023 we began working with The International Rescue Committee in the US, Healthserve in Singapore, and Crossroads in Hong Kong to donate these items to migrants and refugees in the local community, allowing them to move with dignity. We hope that our suitcases provide displaced persons with confidence, humanity, and security during their relocation process.
50 LOJEL Suitcases donated to Healthserve in Singapore
33 LOJEL Suitcases donated to Crossroads in Hong Kong
16 LOJEL Suitcases donated to the International Rescue Committee in the USA
Supply Chain Transparency
We pledge to dive further into the full scope of the sourcing process to provide greater information on where our materials are sourced to further ensure our presence is supporting local workers beyond the factory. We will be able to expand our visibility on this report once we’ve accrued more data by July 2025.
Production Transparency
We design high-quality products for a reasonable price. We also compel purchases based on quality and necessity rather than limited-time promotions, so you can enjoy reasonable pricing all year.
