Pink Suitcase Guide | Pink Hard Luggage

Pink suitcases are surprisingly popular and the personalized luggage trend is gaining momentum. People are bored with having exactly the same luggage as everyone else. The good news for people who love to travel and who love the color pink is that the brands are responding with a myriad of styles and colors - from light pinks, powdery pinks, through to hot pinks. If you’re lucky you may even find a pink polka dot suitcase by your favorite brand!

In this article we explore the reasons why more people are purchasing pink suitcases and other stand-out colors so that even the understated among us can understand more about this new trend in travel accessories.

But before we go any further, our advice if you do decide to go pink is to stick with good quality brands. A scuffed, shabby pink suitcase falling apart at the seams will simply not send the right message (read on for the kind of messages we are talking about). But pink luggage that seeps of luxury will press all the right buttons and get heads turning.

You may decide to wear neutrals and comfort clothing for your airline trip.  But why not shake things up with an accent piece of bright pink luggage.  It’s far easier to get away with pink as part of your suitcase range than wearing a bright pink dress or suit.  But what about matching some bright pink heels, or a piece of bold pink jewelry with your pink suitcase?   Well that would be fabulous.

Travel used to be a mark of sophistication and glamor.  Unfortunately not any longer, unless you can fly first class or go private.  These days most airline travel feels like drudgery and involves tramping from one line to another.  Unpacking and removing your shoes for security can hardly be mistaken for a glamorous activity.  For some people choosing a hot pink suitcase is a reminder of why we are traveling in the first place - so broaden our horizons, experience new cultures and dip into the fabulous.

If you're going to go pink, then go pink!  For maximum pizazz and impact steer clear of the pastel shades and pick out a bold shade of hot pink.  If you're feeling particularly daring, and really want to turn some heads, why not choose pink polka dots?

Let’s get practical for a moment. After a long flight, the last thing we want to do is strain our eyes trying to pink out our boring black suitcase from the hundreds of others on the luggage carousel.  Your hot pink suitcase will stand out from the crowd, and so will you.  You'll never have to wait for your suitcase to make another one of those interminable cycles to get back to where you are standing because you missed it first time around.

For checked baggage we suggest a hard shell. Your contents will thank you for it. This is particularly important these days on airline routes that require you to check your liquid and cream toiletries. They'll be far better protected in your pink hard suitcase. And with the new materials used in lightweight suitcases, you don’t have to sacrifice weight for durability.

Of course you can choose to purchase an entire pink luggage set including a pink rolling suitcase, a large pink suitcase to check in, a pink wheeled holdall for cabin luggage, pink laptop case and pink handbag, you can also mix and match. How about a pink accent piece in a line of silver luggage? Absolutely fabulous! Pink also looks great with brown leather for a sophisticated overall look.

Once you've purchased your pink suitcase, it may be time to think about other travel accessories that will make your trip more comfortable and enjoyable.  If you are a long haul air traveler then a inflatable neck pillow is worth considering.  Read these travel pillow reviews for more details.  Many frequent fliers also make sure they bring on board a pair of noise canceling headphones (no more straining to hear the online movie soundtrack) and comfortable airplane socks.  A thick eye mask is another good travel accessory to have on hand.
