"Luggage that matches your home decor"

If anyone has a home that is decorated in a way that would match that luggage it is truly a shame.

How interesting that a person would want to match their luggage to the one place that they really wouldn't ever have to use it!

cherry blossoms, Camo, GRAFFITI? oh yes my home is just wall-to-wall with these amazing patterns.

I travel fairly frequently and prefer my luggage to be low-key and not stand out too much. There are some countries where expensive-looking luggage that says "look at me" gets quietly opened by baggage handlers hoping to score jewelry etc.

To help identify my case in a sea of black luggage at the arrival terminal, I simply wrap some colored electrical tape around the handle.

Ew. I would hope that wouldn't match anyone's home decor.

Sure, I get wanting a bright piece of luggage to distinguish it from the plain ones, but some of those designs are truly tacky.

Man those are some hideous luggage bags...

Never understood what the problem locating your luggage bag is at the wheel. Just knot a recognizable patterned length of grosgrain on the handle, boom, luggage located.

silly.

Aw, I kinda like the cherry blossoms. Well, I think I would like another floral pattern more, but still.

I would probably just recover an old bag, though.

What I'm really looking for, always, are attractive old leather suitcases in different, unusual (not black or brown) colors. Those are workable luggage and they can sit out exposed at home without feeling fugly. I love my vintage yellow leather suitcase; old enough to have character, and hardly a "rob me I have lots of money" look, and it stands out in the baggage carousel.
