Your suitcase called — it wants a personalized luggage tag
And it’s entirely and completely possible with — you guessed it — calligraphy.
Once upon a time, maximalism ruled the world, and so did ornate architecture, dressing up for a night-out-on-the-town, and the signs of the times were driven by the more-is-more concept. These days, we often opt for minimalism, streamlining, and the fastest way to get us from point A to point B, scurrying about our day without dare I say it: stopping to smell the roses. How does calligraphy fit into this you might be wondering? In a world driven by technology and automation, we at Handsome Ink are committed to pursuing the beauty of art — something we believe will stand the test of time. And we think your guests might-not-so-secretly be yearning for the same.
Okay, but enough philosophy — how do luggage tags fit into this? Well, I’m glad you asked. After working hundreds of events, we can tell you we’ve found that people crave personal connection — an invaluable hallmark — one that your smart phone cannot fulfill to the same degree.
Gifting something personalized has always been a symbol of consideration — so much so, that early books from the 1800s have sections upon sections on selecting the right flower for the occasion, or the proper note when receiving said gift.
Gaskell's Compendium of Forms by G. A. Gaskell is a comprehensive, late 19th-century self-help guide for practical skills that is filled with all sorts of social etiquette like gift giving.
Courtesy has changed since the 1800s, but there’s good news! We’re here to tell you that personalized gifting is still very much in, and there’s a need now — more than ever — to bring back personalized gifting to what once was a standard.
Make your suitcase shine through TSA with a custom gold foiled calligraphy luggage tag
So back to luggage tags! An heirloom keepsake stands out in a world where we’ve been used to buying in bulk or selecting the fastest option. Personalized luggage tags with calligraphy are a small, but mighty token and reminder of the beauty in the little things. Did I also mention that they’re incredibly versatile? They can be gifted to absolutely almost anyone, because everyone at some point in their life will go on a trip. Hard to gift-ers are a perfect match for luggage tags, as are these other suspects:
Your friendly neighbor who has an upcoming birthday
The local wait staff at your favorite local restaurant
Your sister’s bridesmaids during her upcoming big day
An Instagram friend whom you’ve never actually met IRL
And more. We know this from experience because these are some real-world examples of people in our lives who have received luggage tags from us. 😀
And if you’re here because you’re not looking for a single gift — you can opt for live luggage tag engraving, where we provide this service for your very important retail or event guests. And we can tell you that it’s always a hit and like the yummy buffet line, people come back for seconds.
So whether you’re someone looking to gift something unique, or an events manager looking to find a unique experience or activation for your guests — calligraphy luggage tags are for you! And as Gaskell’s Compendium would say, “we can only insure you that, should you honor us with your confidence, we shall spare no pains to acquit ourselves to your satisfaction.”
