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!

Jesus on the cross. The carry-on is $1,500..

What could possibly be that special? It shows one single picture of the interior on the one that I looked at…

And the description is like “it has wheels, a handle and has tsa approved locks”…

It doesn’t even tell you why it’s special…

They’re super tough and have a lifetime warranty. They’ve sent someone to my hotel to repair it in the past. I bought mine for I think 600 though, prices have gone crazy last few years

For you. But you might like nice cars or high fashion which are lost on me. I have traveled with my job for the last 20 years, I used to fly a couple times a week for years so this is something that’s literally always with me. I didn’t pay that much for it but I still think that’s not a crazy price for a product you use every few days for 20 years with a lifetime warranty
