Or use the free shitty plastic ones you get with your elite airline status. They usually give you a few each year so when one breaks, replace it.

In my 19 year career, I can count on zero fingers the number of times anyone has given a smidgen of a fraction of a shit about my or anyone else’s luggage tag. This topic has - until this thread - never entered my consciousness as a thing anyone would care about.

I prefer durable as shit, so I ordered a bunch of Red Oxx's opaque vinyl luggage tags

We're discussing luggage tags now? Fuck me lads.

This is the whitest post I’ve ever seen

This is the only luggage tag worth spending money on.

You've received some good suggestions already.

I am going to take the minimalistic approach: to me, the luggage tag that they offer at a ticket counter at the airport is fine. They are light-weight, free, won't shatter, and you can write your destination address so that on your outbound trip the luggage catches up with you.

I bought dog a tag off ebay for $5. It's metal and engraved with my name/email/phone.

As a backpack owner named Spencer, I'm thoroughly concerned by a company called Killspencer.

Try etsy, even if there isn't a listing exactly right a lot of people would make it custom, it's all simple hand cut leather anyway

I have engraved metal ones made by a guy on eBay for $12.95/5. They come with little threaded cables or they can be ziptied or tied with a paracord loop like a zipper pull. I usually put them inside my bag, out of the way.

I bought my first Rimowa a month ago and I must say that I was really surprised when I saw that the tag was empty…? I thought the whole idea of the luggage tag was to have a paper insert or something to write your contact information on? For me now, the tag doesn’t really make sense and I feel kind of vain having a large leather tag with my initials on just for show.

I need to get this. I was waitlisted for 3 of my past IAH-FRA flights. Business class was so close, yet so far away

Gotta get used to being #56 on DEN to EWR

Fun fact lowly silver here got upgraded today

Just got mine last week. Same one. Haven't gotten upgraded all year lol

A great present would be consideration for the poor baggage handlers have to lift her bag 👎🏼👎🏼

Can you have one laminated or encased in resin?

I have no direct ideas, but this sounds like a great Etsy search.

I'd try Sorellas Boutique in Hondo Texas . They make all kinds of custom things . Call and ask for AJ.

I'm actually not sure that this would prevent an agent from having to use the Heavy bag tag anyway.

I think I found mine at TJX or Marshalls in their luggage section. Distinctive enough. Have not had an issue identifying my bags on the carousel.

If you don't need to write on them, I'd suggest braiding some brightly colored lengths of cord and tying them to the handles. I think Dollar Tree still has 25 foot lengths of knockoff parachute cord that would work.

My husband wrapped some neon duck tape around his suitcase in a distinctive design...

I used a giant glittery cheerleader hair bow

I made bright wraps out of fabric which I sewed onto the handles. No one will accidentally walk away with my luggage, and the fabric makes the handles more comfortable to use. You only need a small scrap of fabric for this project.

For luggage tags I wrote my contact information on a piece of card stock, punched a hole in it, sewed a simple cover out of felt (so that my contact information isn't visible) then looped a plastic tie through the hole.

The handle wraps and the luggage tags together should cost less than $10.

Pro tip: take photos of all your luggage and carry-ons with your phone. If you lose something or the airline does, then you'll be able to easily show them what the pieces look like.

Post this in r/leatherclassifieds with a location & budget. Craftsmen will contact you. If you’ve a pic of what you want, post it. Give the details. You can get exactly what you want, lots of good craftsmen. Take your time to choose who to give your business to.

Is there a list of which stores/locations have unique hot stamps like this?

I would love to keep this in mind as I travel. 😍

Do they sell those individually?

This is great! I’m definitely going to start a collection lol

Really awesome and cute collection :)

Why did you put the Reddit logo on them? I think they could be funny to use as a baggage tag, but I don’t want to walk around the airport with a Reddit logo.

It’s one better than 1K

The “this tag is meaningless” is a solid passive aggressive gate area troll.

How about a “I ID my self worth with my status”

lol did you learn nothing from using Delta’s logo? How long until United, also a multi-billion dollar company that will aggressively pursue copyright violations, also shuts this down? 🤣

Someone knows their case law, specifically Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music in this instance. I’m not normally impressed, but you have adjusted the curve my friend. Bravo.
