If you’re sick of losing your luggage in a sea of black Samsonite nylon on the luggage trolley at the airport, we may have an alternative for you. And no, we’re not going to suggest that you put a brightly colored pipe cleaner on the handle – too many people have caught on to that trick, and where do you buy pipe cleaners, anyway? Like, what aisle are those on at Target?

If a more stylish option is your cup of tea, consider the Tumi Voyageur Python Avignon International Carry-on.

Obviously, this suitcase isn’t made out of ACTUAL python. Air travel is grimy and rough at times, particularly on bags, and python just isn’t a durable material. Plus, it would have taken like a million of them to make a bag this big, and then only like four people would be able to afford it. Instead, we’ve got a python print on Tumi’s super tough nylon that’s trimmed in rich brown leather. I guarantee you that no one at the terminal will have luggage anything like yours. Buy through Tumi for $595.

I love this one.

I have bought Tumi luggage for years and it is the best. I bought my first piece about 18 years ago and was nervous because it was so expensive. It lasted me 10 years of lots and lots of travel. I've bought numerous pieces since then!

Absolutely adorable!!

I just think that luggage is a container used to carry stuff when traveling and that as such it's going to get shoved into places it can't fit in, thrown around, crushed, ripped, stained ... so to pay insanely high prices on suitcases that will get beaten up seems inconceivable to me.

I have a $40 suitcase that is black and white zebra print with bright red trim. Very easy to find on the luggage carousel and actually, I can tell when my suitcase is coming since people tend to snicker or step back from the carousel like they're embarrassed.
Works for me!
Although this bag would be easy to spot too.

No thanks. I'd stick to a patterned tag that's unique enough for me to ID right away and for others to recognize that it's not theirs.

I agree with Karmenzsofia too.
