Travelers often choose black luggage for its practicality and formal appearance, but security experts are raising concerns about its safety. According to a global survey by Eminent, more than 40% of suitcases sold worldwide are black, which can make them difficult to identify at baggage claim. Security expert Ed Burnett warns that thieves prefer dark-colored bags because they allow them to blend in and avoid detection. He suggests that bright colors, like neon green or orange, act as deterrents and are easier to spot. Additionally, travel expert Jamie Frazer notes that black suitcases are more likely to be misplaced due to their commonality. To enhance safety, experts recommend using hard-shell luggage, which is more secure than soft-shell options, and adding colorful tags or stickers to make bags stand out.
