Farewell to an overflowing suitcase

If there is a device that will allow you to have more space in your luggage, let you bring more souvenirs at home to share with family, friends or yourself, that would be a great thing.

VAGO, the travel gadget which saves more than 50% luggage space by compressing soft items automatically, is the best and fashionable packing helper for travelholics.

BIG GOOD DESIGN started 8 years ago with a technology product OEM/ODM service provider. It is now the creator of the cool travel gadget VAGO, a portable vacuum device that can compress soft items automatically. “International tourist arrivals have reached 1 billion, the rapid growth of tourism confirms that this is one of the most powerful drivers of economic growth and development,” said Leon Chao, the CEO of BIG GOOD DESIGN. “It is challenging for people to pack everything they want in a suitcase due to space constraints.”

Understanding the difficulty of human nature to cut, to abandon, and to leave, BIG GOOD DESIGN decided to design a product that creates more space in the existing luggage to make packing easier and efficient during travel. Attribute the successful development to aerodynamics and high-speed motor technology, VAGO owns patents on the vacuum device and vacuum storage bag, which is a washable triple-material complex that is very durable and can be reused. VAGO is very easy to use by connecting with micro USB and power source like plug or power bank and also the world smallest portable vacuum device, which weighs only 77 grams and 70mm long, yet it can provide 2.7 times the vacuum pressure than the vacuum cleaner.

VAGO is already available in more than 20 countries. “Our strategy is to first build the brand image and then promote the product,” said Chao. “By participating in global trade shows including Global Sources Startup Launchpad, Creative Expo Taiwan, and Innovfest Unbound, VAGO is targeting every tourist and every tourist destination in the world. BIG GOOD DESIGN expected to connect with local agents and distributors to enter other markets. We can see VAGO go into every traveler’s suitcase and help them collect more memories back home.”

As one of the designated partners of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee to the Tokyo Olympics 2020, VAGO is not only going global but also bringing glory back to Taiwan.

BIG GOOD DESIGN will demonstrate the fine gadget with Taiwan Tech Arena Pavilion in Innovfest Unbound in Singapore on 6/27–28, 2019 at P11. So pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, let’s vacuum to go anywhere.
