A travel expert explains why it’s a bad idea to tie a ribbon to your bags.

Modern luggage designs have gone a long way from the days of plain old black, brown, or blue bags.

Black is “one of the most—if not, the most—versatile colors, which is why it’s so prevalent,” according to Travel & Leisure.

“So, if you want your bags to stand out at baggage claim, it’s worth choosing a different hue,” the source says. Think of a brightly colored or patterned luggage, like a fiery pink one.

If you’re not a fan of pink, there is an abundance of other vivid hues available for baggage that will guarantee that your belongings stand out.

You may also use fabric paint or stickers to add distinguishing elements to your baggage that won’t interfere with scanning, which is a good option if you’re not ready to leave with your present set.

Travelers from all over the world should feel a little less anxious after reading John’s views!
