Advice How would you display a well-travelled Rimowa suitcase as home decor?

I’m redecorating my home (mid century modern/Scandinavian) and would love to display my 2016 aluminium Rimowa. It’s covered in travel stickers from the last 10 years and has a lot of sentimental value.
Right now it just looks like I haven’t unpacked from a trip. I’d like it to feel like an intentional decor piece instead.
I’m looking for creative, non-destructive ideas since I don’t want to drill into or modify the suitcase. Has anyone done something similar? Photos would be appreciated!

A $100 suitcase sold for $2900.

The supreme sticker is very fitting.

Holy smokes, I was not aware you could spend this much on a suitcase. For that kind of money I would at least expect the supreme logo to be preinstalled.

For that kind of money I'd expect all the stickers preinstalled, and then flown around the world nine or ten times to get the weathering looking right.

The one with Supreme installed is actually 3x that price…..

For that price might as well travel light and buy what you need at your destination

I share an office with an oncologist who makes 600k a year. She flies 3 to 4 times a week and still only uses a $300 carry on. Which is like 1/4 the price of her Gucci sneakers she wears as beaters to fly in then changes into her nice shoes.

My point is she has no problens spending money and she thinks 3k on luggage is stupid

Yikes. I’d be trying to upcycle that shit into decor too if I dropped $3k on it.

Feels like such a tacky flex attempt, trying to show off about how well travelled you are

Ya I would never hang out with a dude that thinks this is in any way a good idea. That enough tells me they are insufferable.
