Why You May See This Weird Luggage Wrap Trend At Chicago O’Hare This Summer

Genius? Or completely unnecessary? Your call.

If you've ever waited in the purgatory that is the baggage claim for your suitcase to come around on the carousel, you've probably thought to yourself "hey there it is" only to figure out that's not, in fact, your suitcase.

Studies suggest that over 40% of travelers use black suitcases, so it's easy for them to run together. But say goodbye to the identifying ribbons or belts. There's another way to reduce the likelihood of accidentally swapped bags.

Thanks to one family's viral idea, people are more often putting luggage wraps of their unflattering pictures on their suitcases.
