  • Publication number: 20240292933
    Abstract: A compressible sleeve and a kit comprising a plurality of compressible sleeves is disclosed herein. The compressible sleeve includes a band and a fastener element. The band is formed as a continuous loop and constructed from an elasticated material, enabling the band to compressively fit around a piece of luggage. The compressible sleeve enables a user to readily identify their luggage from a long distance, and also unifies two or more mismatched pieces of luggage. In addition, tension applied to the luggage via the band enables zipper pull tabs of the luggage to be placed underneath the band and prevented from moving, thus minimizing potential for luggage to be accidentally opened during transit.
