Copy of OUR STORY 2
After months of researching, we are finally able to launch a series of smart travel accessories that are durable, aesthetically pleasing and more importantly, at a reasonable price. And that is how The Travel Shop was born.
Quality products at affordable prices
Reasonable prices are the cornerstone of our vision, business idea and concept. The basic thinking behind all our products is that affordable prices make well-designed, durable products available to everyone. After all, our mission is to make any trip first-class!
We want to offer a wide range of travel-smart products with good design and function at prices so low that as many people as possible will be able to afford them. We are constantly trying to do everything a little better, a little simpler, more efficiently and always cost-effectively.
"Naked" products
A study from Ohio State University says that “the cost of the packaging as a percentage of total selling price can range from 1.4 percent to as high as 40 percent."
The products we shipped only carries as little packaging as possible to reduce costs and avoid waste. As we feel that there is nothing worse than opening up a large container and seeing that the product takes up only a small portion of the packaging. And we hate watching that oh-so-carefully designed container ends up in landfills, oceans, and rivers, causing harm to surrounding wildlife and ecosystems.
Make the switch
As an environment-conscious startup, we aim to minimise the environmental footprint of the making and use of our products as we grow our business. We strive to offer products that excel in quality at lower prices which has been achieved by avoiding waste in the form of unnecessary functionality, an excess of decoration, and needless packaging.
We are aware that some of our manufacturers still use plastic packaging. Please join the Soft Plastic Recycling Programme to recycle them. Let's work together for a more sustainable future.
We are not perfect. We are just getting started and will keep evolving. We would love to have you onboard!
