Tie two or three colored ribbons of different lengths around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it.

Use a man’s “half windsor” knot for the best look.

Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby,

Use 3/4” wide ribbons about 12-14” long. Cut the ends at 45 degrees then seal the end with one drop of Super Glue to prevent fraying. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/2” or so, they will all show no matter what. Tie the 3 ribbons as if it were one ribbon using a half Windsor knot.
After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5-6” from the handle. A little longer ribbon shows up better. You can see it from 40 feet away.
Perhaps tie two handles, top and side of case. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a permanent Sharpie.
Choose one ribbon to have an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique.

Lay all 3 ribbons on top of one another. Then tie them with a half Windsor knot, same as a man uses.

Stand by the output hole of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing the piece.

Tie your skiies, duffel bag, and what ever with matching ribbons—even your computer case.

If you are a Travel Agent, you could gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Then send a set of two ribbons, red and blue to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine.
