When shopping for luggage, consider buying an eye-catching color rather than basic black. Choose unusual patterns and bright or rare colors for a bag that is easy to spot. However, don't buy a suitcase because of its appearance alone.
Purchase a set of travel belts or luggage hugs to maximize visibility. These are available in a number of colors and patterns and adjust to fit most suitcases. If the suitcase is already a bright color, buy a contrasting belt or luggage hug. Belts and luggage hugs also keep your suitcases closed if zippers break.
Cover the handle with a purchased or homemade handle wrap or colored cloth tape. Unique handle covers are widely available or easy to make at home.
Attach customized luggage tags reflecting a favorite destination, hobby, or pet and write personal information including name, address, and phone number in permanent marker on the tag. Attaching luggage tags with colorful ribbon, yarn or cord will also boost your bag's visibility.
