Under the theme “VERAGE Born British, Built for The World,” the event highlights VERAGE's international brand heritage and its approach to practical, design-led travel products. Among the featured collections, VERAGE Tenby-Monti takes center stage with its front-opening design and travel-oriented functionality.

Visitors can also take advantage of several event-exclusive offers, including a luggage trade-in promotion, discounts on Tenby-Monti, and a Spin & Win activity with multiple gifts available throughout the event.

VERAGE at SOGO Mid Valley Southkey

The VERAGE SOGO Fair takes place from August 31 to September 6, 2026, at Mid Valley Southkey, 1 Persiaran Southkey 1, Southkey, 80150 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia.

The VERAGE pop-up is located at the mall's North Court, providing shoppers with an opportunity to explore different luggage styles and product configurations in person.

Mid Valley Southkey is one of Johor Bahru's major shopping destinations, bringing together retail, dining, lifestyle, and entertainment experiences under one roof. Its location and broad retail offering make it a natural setting for a travel-focused luggage event.

The event also coincides with Malaysia's National Day on August 31, adding a special significance to the opening day of the fair.

“Born British, Built for The World”

The theme “VERAGE Born British, Built for The World” reflects the brand's development from its British origins to its current international presence.

VERAGE was established in Manchester, UK, in 1958 and has developed its luggage business around lightweight construction, functional design, durability, and practical travel solutions.

Today, VERAGE products are distributed across international markets, serving travelers and business partners in more than 86 countries and regions.

The SOGO Fair in Johor Bahru therefore represents more than a conventional retail promotion. It provides a physical touchpoint where Malaysian consumers can experience VERAGE products, compare different designs, and discover luggage solutions designed for different travel needs.

Featured Luggage: VERAGE Tenby-Monti

The key featured product at the event is VERAGE Tenby-Monti, a front-opening luggage design created around the idea of easier access and more convenient organization.

Traditional suitcases generally open from the center, requiring travelers to spread the two halves of the case across a larger surface. A front-opening configuration takes a different approach by placing an accessible storage compartment at the front of the suitcase.

This design can be particularly useful when travelers need to reach frequently used items without completely opening the main luggage compartment.

For business trips, short journeys, airport transfers, and everyday travel, easy access can make a practical difference. Items such as documents, electronics, travel accessories, or personal essentials can be easier to organize and retrieve.

Built for Easy Access

The defining characteristic of Tenby-Monti is its front-opening structure.

Instead of treating the suitcase simply as a large storage container, the design considers how travelers interact with their luggage before, during, and after transportation.

The front compartment provides a convenient access point, while the main compartment continues to accommodate larger travel items.

This creates a more flexible organization system for travelers who want to keep frequently accessed belongings separate from clothing and other items stored in the main compartment.

Designed Around Modern Travel

Tenby-Monti is also positioned around the broader needs of modern travelers.

Today's luggage is expected to provide more than storage. Travelers increasingly look for products that combine mobility, organization, durability, and convenient access in a single design.

The Tenby-Monti concept responds to these needs through its front-opening configuration and travel-focused construction, making it one of the key products showcased at the VERAGE SOGO Fair.

Exclusive Tenby-Monti Offer: 50% + 20% Off

During the SOGO Fair, shoppers can enjoy an exclusive promotion on VERAGE Tenby-Monti: 50% + 20% off.

The promotion gives visitors an additional reason to explore the collection in person and compare its design and functionality with other luggage options available at the event.

Because the fair features multiple luggage styles and collections, shoppers can evaluate different designs according to their own travel habits, whether they are looking for a front-opening suitcase, lightweight luggage, larger-capacity travel options, or everyday mobility.

Trade-In Promotion: Give an Old Suitcase a Second Life

Another highlight of the event is the VERAGE Trade-In Promotion.

Each day, the first 10 customers who bring an old suitcase and purchase RM600 or more in luggage can receive RM80 cashback.

The promotion combines a practical purchase benefit with a more sustainable approach to replacing luggage.

Instead of simply setting an old suitcase aside, travelers have an opportunity to bring it into the trade-in process when upgrading to a new travel product.

For shoppers who have been considering replacing worn or outdated luggage, the trade-in offer provides an additional incentive during the event period.

Spin & Win: More Reasons to Visit the Pop-Up

The VERAGE SOGO Fair also includes an interactive Spin & Win activity.

Customers who spend RM350 or more are eligible for one spin and have the opportunity to receive one of up to 10 types of free gifts.

This activity adds an element of interaction to the shopping experience and gives customers another opportunity to receive additional value after purchasing.

Together with the Tenby-Monti discount and luggage trade-in promotion, Spin & Win creates a broader event experience rather than focusing on a single product discount.

More Luggage Choices at the VERAGE Pop-Up

While Tenby-Monti is the main featured collection, the VERAGE pop-up presents a broader selection of luggage styles and offers.

Different travelers have different priorities. Some may prioritize easy access and organization, while others may be more concerned with lightweight construction, capacity, durability, or overall appearance.

By displaying multiple collections and styles in one location, the SOGO Fair allows visitors to compare different options based on their individual travel scenarios.

This multi-product approach also reflects VERAGE's broader luggage portfolio, which includes both hard-shell and soft-sided luggage designed for different types of journeys.

Influencers Bring the VERAGE Experience Online

The physical pop-up experience is supported by social media content from multiple influencers who visited the event for check-ins and content creation.

Their visits extend the reach of the SOGO Fair beyond the physical space of Mid Valley Southkey, allowing audiences who may not immediately visit the mall to discover the event and explore VERAGE's featured products online.

For a travel and lifestyle brand, this combination of offline product experience and social media storytelling provides two complementary ways for consumers to engage with the brand.

Visitors can experience the luggage directly in the pop-up, while social media audiences can discover product features, styling ideas, event promotions, and the overall atmosphere through creator content.

Why Mid Valley Southkey Matters for VERAGE in Johor Bahru

Choosing Mid Valley Southkey as the venue for the VERAGE SOGO Fair provides the brand with access to a diverse group of shoppers in Johor Bahru and the surrounding area.

As a major retail destination, the mall brings together fashion, beauty, lifestyle, dining, and other consumer categories, making it a suitable environment for a travel luggage brand.

The event also offers an opportunity to present VERAGE in a more accessible retail environment. Rather than relying only on online product information, consumers can physically examine luggage dimensions, opening mechanisms, wheels, handles, compartments, materials, and overall construction.

For luggage in particular, this physical interaction can be valuable because many functional characteristics are easier to understand when shoppers can open, move, carry, and compare the products themselves.

A Retail Experience Built Around Travel

The VERAGE SOGO Fair brings together several elements of the modern luggage shopping experience:

• · Product discovery through multiple luggage collections
• · Functional design represented by the Tenby-Monti front-opening structure
• · Exclusive shopping incentives including the 50% + 20% Tenby-Monti offer
• · Trade-in value through the RM80 cashback promotion
• · Interactive engagement through Spin & Win
• · Social media exposure through influencer visits and content
• · In-person product experience at the VERAGE pop-up

Rather than positioning luggage simply as a travel accessory, the event highlights how product design can influence the way people pack, organize, carry, and move through their journeys.
