Polka Dot Luggage Sets

From bold, retro pink luggage sets with polka dots to travel bags with more understated polka dot appeal, there are many ways to make a stylish splash with your suitcase!

There are many reasons to choose luggage adorned with polka dots. Often in bold or contrasting colors, these bright, mood-boosting patterns give an instant lift to standard luggage. Since classic, dark colors such as black, shades of brown or grey, navy, and hunter green are very popular when it comes to luggage, dotted suitcases and travel bags are also easily recognizable. This can be a big time saver and help lessen confusion over finding your luggage at crowded airport carousels.

Dotted patterns are also just plain fun, and a great addition to add personality to your luggage. Styles vary from small dots in similar color families that give the appearance of subtle texture, to more vibrant and original designs. Whether you have had a long penchant for all things retro, or are just in tune with the current popularity of retro fashions, a polka dot luggage set certainly fits into the current trends. Polka dot travel sets are available for both women and kids. Not only can a fashion-savvy woman pull off the polka dots, but this look can also be a fun and funky choice for teens or kids.

Luggage sets in these distinctive dots offer a coordinated look and make identifying all your travel bags simple and quick.

There are many different dot sizes and colors from which to choose. Dot designs include small medium, and large dots, as well as patterns with several different dot sizes on one print. They may be placed in consistent rows or patterns or randomly placed. Some of the most popular colors for dotted luggage include:

Pink and black is a great combination for luggage when it comes to polka dots. There are designs with pink backgrounds and black dots and vice versa. Pinks range from pale pink to fuchsia. Black offers a sophistication that tempers the feminine pink flair. Check out Tickled Pink's Black and Pink luggage set for an example.

A bold, bright design perfect for kids, teens, or those who want a playful print is a polka dot luggage set with colored dots. Common colors for the dots include teal, pink, blue and green. Colored dots are seen on white or black backgrounds, and a reversal of this fun type of print that has a touch more sophistication is the colored luggage set with white polka dots. Colored backgrounds of lime, teal, and pink, and orange are popular. See the Dot Multi-Colored 2 Piece luggage set from Chic Eve for inspiration.

Classic black and brown luggage sets get jazzed up with the addition of polka dots. Small, medium, or large white or cream dots look classy yet fun on black or brown backgrounds. Get this great look with the Rockland Expandable Luggage Set (available online at Overstock.com and Target).
