Making luggage easy to spot

[UKTim]

What do you do to make your suitcases easy to spot on the conveyers? I noticed last time that ours looked like everyone elses :mad:

Tie brightly coloured scarves or bandanas (cheap from any market) round the handles. I have in the past jazzed my suitcases up with *artwork* done with different colours of nail varnish as I have hundreds of bottles.

Well, when eveyone used light coloured or tapestry luggage, I bought black.

When everyone began using black, I bought colour-blocked luggage.

When everyone began using colour-blocked luggage, I bought red.

When everyone began using red, I gave up and returned to black luggage! :lol:

I have turquoise name tags on all of my bags. That helps. I used to have bright pink, but they disappeared one trip--have no idea why. The luggage made it, but the tags didn't! Apparently someone liked them! :rolleyes:

My cousin painted roses on her luggage when she and her husband flew to California for their DD's wedding. It's striking; she's a terrific artist--which helps! One problem: the luggage didn't make the flight! :sigh; Fortunately, they did have a carry-on and the checked bag made arrived the day before the wedding.

Beyond that, you could add strips of coloured duct or electrical tape to your cases.

Elvis Luggage, Marilyn Monroe Luggage...bright pink luggage tags with "unique" sayings....does this ring a bell Johnie?

[Johnie]

:lol: yes, yes it does.

My Elvis luggage got ruined by the airlines.

[PsychoAlice]

OMG my sons room is a mess....

[PsychoAlice]

:lol: yes, yes it does.

My Elvis luggage got ruined by the airlines.


Noooooooooo

[Johnie]

Yeah, it looks horrible. I bought a ginormous green Samsonite spinner suitcase. It's card a semi hard case and seems more durable. Plus I LOVE the spinners.

I do have a rolling duffel bag that is black with pink spots.

[Taja]

Love Alysia's shoes--and your case, PA!

I have to use my luggage for business, so it has to be a bit conservative.

I still have my red rolling laptop case. It's hard to miss it! :lol:

[Isafari]

Well, I'm boring compared to you lot :lol: I just do the bright coloured ribbon on the handles or, seeing as it's Christmas when we go...tinsel!

[Ursula]

LOVE the tinsel idea!

[Grammiepo]

I made mouse ears (Mickey) on my black case, with silver duck tape.

[Dorothy]

I bought some really ugly stuff that is green tapestry and it's easy to spot at the airport because no one else would ever admit to have such ugly suitcases. I also have neon zip ties that I use for my Mickey head tags that I made from the those paint chips from the Disney paint from Home Depot that are shaped like Mickey heads.

[Taja]

Ooooooh! Lots of good ideas!

I love the tinsel and neon zip ties ideas! :D
