The Power of SteamLine Moments: Make Your Next Connection

Luciana Terroni is ready to connect, explore, and socialise with her Sweetheart Carryon!

Traveling in the Moment with SteamLine

When an InStyle writer once said about SteamLine, “I’ve never received so many compliments from strangers about an accessory than I did while carrying SteamLine Luggage,” my heart soared. For even more meaningful than all the brand-affirming compliments are the positive human connections viscerally formed by the combined beauty of modern color and vintage style. The eye contact, the kind words, the conversation starters. The fact that travelers who don't know each other are compelled to bridge the fourth wall that divides strangers makes each daily effort worthwhile. For, in our experience, these connections—however momentary or extended—form the heart of our dearest travel stories and memories.

And as a business, it is the energy of these moments that keep us chugging at SteamLine—the joy triggers that brings people together, whether through a passing compliment or a chance conversation that means so much more.

For when someone carrying a SteamLine case interacts with a fellow traveler in a way they would have otherwise missed, we are validated in our greatest belief: that travel makes the world go round.

Making Contacts while Making Connections

The stories we hear are endless—from new friends and business contacts, to travel tips shared between visitors and locals, to charming exchanges en passant that make the journey more positive and alive. Airport workers gush, airline hosts fall over themselves, tired travelers perk up at the welcome sight of high color and design. Whether a contact leads to something more or simply becomes a character in your travel tales, we believe in the power of beauty to impact your journey.

Our Worldview: Slow Travel and Serious Intention

All these moments get at the heart of why SteamLine really exists: to encourage people to travel oftener, slower, further, and more beautifully. 

We want you to sharpen your powers of observation and engage with the world around you, whether it’s a stranger asking, "Where did you get your luggage?" or   your own keener eye because of your heightened sense that travel is anything but routine.

We want you to slow down and thrill to travel’s endless opportunities for surprise. 

We want you to shed inhibitions and see purely like a child within who is possessed of adult style without.

This is our worldview.

SteamLine Moments 

We call these senses-heightening exchanges SteamLine Moments. They may interrupt you, they may slow you down, but they remind you that you are going somewhere for a reason, that time should be well-felt, that there is life all around you. Even in line. Especially in line.

So please, join us on board the world's most joyful travel lifestyle, and get ready to make your next connection!
