Bellroy, the popular Australian carry brand, releases much-anticipated luggage styles

Published

on

The brand renowned for solving carry problems extends their expertise to travel, with two wheeled carry-on bags that are lightweight, hard-wearing and repairable in under 10 minutes.

MELBOURNE, Australia, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Solving problems is in Bellroy’s DNA. Since their origin in 2010, the global carry brand from Australia has been looking for what’s broken in carry, and worked obsessively to engineer a better solution. They first became known for re-inventing leather wallets, reducing the layers of leather, introducing pull-tab storage and slimming it right down (for the sake of pockets everywhere). Since then, they’ve brought innovative design thinking to bags, tech accessories and more – and now to a particularly tricky category: wheeled luggage. With two carry-on styles (a hard-shell spinner and a soft-shell tipper) that aim to unite the things travelers want their luggage to be – lightweight, hard-wearing, smooth-rolling and optimized for packing.

 

“Packing for a plane trip and feeling ready for that experience, is such a visceral moment that everyone can relate to. So it was exciting for us to design for that moment. Bellroy getting into luggage was such a natural progression for us,” says Bellroy’s head of product design, James Jeffrey.

“We can take everything that we have learnt in Bellroy’s 15-year history, and apply it to luggage, where there are so many technical elements to dive into,” adds Bellroy’s Product Development Manager, Pip Grinter.

Introducing: the Transit Carry-On and Lite Carry-On. Embedded with Bellroy’s signature design thinking, and engineered for long-lasting utility.

The brand has worked hard to consider all of the things that can go wrong in travel – from moving through security lines, to loading your bag into overhead compartments, to rolling down the street at your destination. And ensure their solutions bring ease, organization and peace of mind. With hard-wearing materials, features that balance light weight with essential durability, and an easy repair system for the parts that can fail on luggage – including wheels, handles and TSA locks. This is key to Bellroy’s dual mission of delighting their customers, as well as minimizing their environmental impact.

The certified B Corp has become known for quality and durability, and their approach to luggage is of course no different. Through a process of rigorous testing, they provide travelers with peace of mind that these are going to last the distance.

“We saw so many examples of broken luggage,” explains Grinter. “So in testing our prototypes, we were simulating a lot of the common stresses, over and over again. Essentially simulating a 10-year lifespan so we can be sure every part is going to hold up.”

Both styles are now available at bellroy.com.

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

on

By

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.
