These customized leather accessories will add flavor to your bags and suitcases.

Anyone who has ever lost a bag courtesy of the TSA knows how truly necessary luggage tags are. There’s nothing more headache-inducing than shopping for tourist T-shirts the morning after you arrive at your destination — especially if there’s jetlag involved.

Now, thanks to Of The Fountain, your luggage tag can say much more than just your name, address and phone number — a personalized message to a loved one, for instance, or a favorite proverb. The desired phrase is hand-stamped into the leather tag, darkened with leather dye and aged with ink to give it a rugged, well-traveled appearance. Plus, the durable suede strap ensures that your tag won’t break off in transit.
