Start A Kids Suitcase Business

Here are some real life success stories of starting a kids suitcase business:

1. Trunki ($12M/year)

Rob Law, founder of Trunki, came up with the idea for a ride-on suitcase for kids while browsing through a department store during his time as a product design student. He realized that ride-on toys wasted a lot of space and decided to create a suitcase that maximized internal space while also entertaining kids. After facing setbacks, such as a failed licensing deal and a humiliating experience on Dragons' Den, Law persevered and turned Trunki into a global brand, selling over 4 million suitcases in over 100 countries.

How much they make: $12M/year
How much did it cost to start: $15K
Current team size: 80
