At the end of a long flight, you probably want to get your luggage quickly and reach your destination. So you join the crowd around the luggage carousel and watch as a stream of suitcases goes by. Each piece of luggage seems identical, and your fellow travellers mistakenly reach for suitcases only to realize they’ve got the wrong bag. Not you, though. You know how to make your suitcase stand out, or you will by the end of this article!
Choosing Colourful Luggage That Stands Out
Buying colourful suitcases is one of the easiest ways to spot your luggage on the baggage carousel. Most luggage is dark blue, black, or brown, so patterned or colourful luggage stands out. You don’t need to choose garish colours either: a rich red suitcase catches the eye while looking stylish.
Travelpro® has a range of colourful suitcases to make it easier to identify your luggage. Examples include:
-
Maxlite® 5 Compact Carry-On Spinner in Orchid Pink
-
Platinum® Elite Medium Check-In Spinner in Camouflage Blue
-
Platinum® Elite Carry-On / Medium / Large Set in Olive Green
Personalizing Your Luggage
Travellers often personalize their luggage to make it stand out. Simple luggage identifier ideas include:
-
Tying colourful ribbons to luggage handles
-
Using brightly coloured luggage straps
-
Transforming ordinary bags into colourful suitcases with luggage covers
-
Adding bright, travel-themed stickers on hard-shell luggage
-
Sewing patches onto backpacks
-
Using bright handle wraps
-
Wrapping reflective tape around luggage handles
If you don't like tying ribbons to your luggage, you can get the same eye-catching effect with a red leather luggage tag. For a more high-tech solution, track your luggage with Apple Airtags or Bluetooth tags so you can narrow down where your luggage is to within a few feet.
Many of these luggage identifier ideas require adding items to your bags. Stickers, reflective tape, and similar items can be difficult to remove and may even damage your luggage’s finish. We favour colourful suitcases.
