Abstract
Today, luggage has become an element of fashion. As a result, a number of designer articles of luggage can be purchased. These articles of luggage can range from less than one hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. However, adequate protection for these articles of luggage, which preserves the aesthetic features of the articles of luggage, has not been previously available. Now, a simple, cheap, easily manufacturable, and easily used cover is available for articles of luggage that both protects and preserves the aesthetic features. This cover also allow easy access to handles and works well with conventional wheeled luggage.
