Athan Didaskalou and Richard Li launched the Melbourne-based luggage and travel accessories brand July in 2019. The duo’s first product, the Carry-On, quite literally reinvented the wheel. Despite setbacks along the way they have continued to expand their offering, developing the lightest double-wheel suitcase in the world. Athan tells us about the brand’s remarkable growth in Australia, the US and Hong Kong – and why the UK is the next market in July’s sights.
