  • Personalise your dull coloured suitcases with bright, colourful stickers. Ensure that they are strongly stuck to the bags.
  • Use acrylic paint or fabric paint if your suitcase uses fabric, and paint your favourite patterns. If you’re not the artistic type, get some stencils and spray paint to get the desired patterns.
