31 Awesome Suitcases & Luggage That Stand Out (SUPER GALLERY)

Having been fortunate to travel a lot, I’ve seen my fair share of luggage. Oddly enough, while there are so many unique innovations in travel bags and hip suitcases, the majority of people still opt for the ubiquitous black bags. Every third back is navy blue, and every sixth a shade of brown.

Luckily, I can always spot mine from a distance, and believe me, it’s worth it.

Check out some of the hippest luggage designs we’ve seen on TrendHunter, and perhaps you’ll be inspired to stand out the next time you’re waiting at baggage claim.
