Bold color blocks decorate the wheeled suitcases for a [vibrant range of travel gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funseekers-collection), all branded with the company's name in white strips along the bottoms. The rectangular carry cases are ideal canvases to feature the [graphic paint swatch patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolley-and-backpack-set). They are typically displayed within the bounds of squares, so leaving pigment-less bands around the bases where one would usually be informed of the tint's name and number. One of a spectrum of colors is featured on each protective piece of Pantone Universe luggage, wrapping around it to cover the back for easy airport carousel identification. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Colorful Luggage:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation include developing sustainable materials and smart features, such as GPS tracking and weight sensors, to enhance the travel experience. - **Graphic Patterns on Travel Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include using augmented reality technology to allow consumers to personalize their luggage with custom designs, patterns, and colors. - **Branded Travel Accessories:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation include collaborating with fashion designers and other brands to create limited-edition collections that appeal to a wider audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luggage Manufacturing:** Luggage manufacturers can become disruptors by exploring sustainable materials and smart features that enhance the travel experience. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Opportunities for disruption include collaborating with luggage manufacturers to create colorful and customizable travel accessories that appeal to fashion-conscious consumers. - **Augmented Reality Technology:** Developers of augmented reality technology can become disruptors by creating platforms that allow consumers to personalize their luggage with custom designs, patterns, and colors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Retro Luxury Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-handcarry.md) - [Vibrant Carry-On Luggage Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carryon-luggage-prints.md) - [Chic Shadow Effect Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suitcase-of-the-light.md) - [Neon Tonal Premium Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-collection-1.md) - [Photography Brand Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kodak-luggage.md) - [Vibrant Lightweight Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunshine-yellow.md) - [Colorful Functional Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monos-1.md) - [Modernly Festive Suitcase Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-pine-raspberry.md) - [Textured 60s-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-hammerschlag-collection.md)
