Paravel is back from the dead, and the Aviator Carry-On is the proof. New owner Antler kept the silhouette travelers remember, the recycled polycarbonate shell, and the vegan trim, then upgraded the wheels to Japanese-made Hinomoto Silent Glides and stood behind it all with a 10-year warranty. At $400 in Newport Red it costs exactly what the original did, and it is the rare relaunch that improves the product.
