Abstract: A decorative element for a piece of luggage including a plate, which has a visible side and a rear side and has fasteners, and at least one base layer and one covering layer that covers the at least one base layer are applied to the visible side, which layers are non-transparent, and at least the covering layer is of a non-abrasion-proof material and can be abraded by mechanical processing.

Abstract: A piece of luggage, especially a suitcase with a container where the container features or has on one exterior side a base layer and at least one cover layer. An easily customizable piece of luggage is provided, where the container features on one exterior side a base layer and at least one cover layer. The base layer and at least one cover layer, respectively, being non-transparent and of various colors, where the cover layer is formed from an abradable material, where at least one cover layer features a lower resistance to abrasion than the base layer, where through traces of use at least one cover layer is at least partially abradable so that the subjacent base layer and/or each subjacent base layer may be exposed in the area of the traces of use and at least one motif template positioned between the outer cover layer and the base layer, where the motif template facilitates a detachment of the outer cover layer in the shape of the motifs formed by the motif templates.
