Valentine’s Day gift guide: The best personalized luggage

Even before the summer of lost luggage, finding your bag at the airport wasn’t always easy. There are so many similar suitcases going through the carousel that it’s no wonder people often mistake someone else’s for their own.

A simple – and stylish – way around that is to personalize bags with a name, a monogram or even a few words.

Treat your favorite traveler to a new custom piece of luggage that is unmistakably theirs. Here are some of our favourites. The only thing that would make this a better gift is to add a plane ticket.
