About Us

Stovla started with two ordinary fights. A suitcase that wouldn’t close the night before a flight. A closet shelf that wouldn’t take one more sweater. Different rooms, same problem: most of what fills a suitcase is air, and most of what fills a closet is too.

So that’s what we work on. Not more space. Less air.

What we make

FlatPress is our first product: compression bags in the three suitcase sizes, and AirDraw™, a cordless rechargeable pump that pulls the air out wherever you happen to be. Fill, zip, press. The bag goes flat in a hotel room, a dorm, an airport floor, or right at the shelf, no vacuum cleaner, no rolling, no kneeling on the lid.

One set, two jobs. The trip is the reason you buy it. The closet is the reason it never sits in a drawer.

How we build

We’d rather earn your second order than oversell the first, so we work by a few rules:

Nothing you don’t need. No app, no subscription, no batteries to buy. A pump, bags that go flat, and that’s the product.

Honest limits. Compression flattens; it doesn’t iron. It shrinks the soft bulk, not shoes. If something isn’t for you, we’d rather you know before you pay.

Built to be reused, not returned. The same bags, trip after trip and season after season, backed by a 5-year warranty and [30]-day returns. Take it on a real trip, or give it a real closet. If it doesn’t earn its place, send it back and we refund you.

Where we’re going

FlatPress is the first thing with our name on it, not the last. Stovla makes the things that make room: in the carry-on, on the shelf, in the trip for what you actually want to bring back.

If your suitcase closes on the first try, we did our job.
