We had some of that stripe and cut strips of it to tie on our luggage handles when we flew overseas. Made it much easier to locate our luggage on the other end -- just looked for the bright fabric. And there were 28 of us in this group, so we all used it, and it made check-in at the airports much quicker. Now, whenever I travel, no matter how or where, I find a bright, colorful piece of cotton to cut into a strip and tie to my bags. Makes life easier.
