Like® Luggage was founded in 2004 by 12-year-old, Kendall Waddey from Nashville, Tennessee. She created bright-colored, polka-dotted luggage targeted to teens and kids, all because she simply thought that there was a need.

“When my Mom and I flew to Des Moines for a track meet, I noticed that all the bags on the carousel were dark-colored and blah-ish. I told my Mom that when I grew up, I was going to create a line of luggage that was fun, bright-colored, and had some attitude. She told me it was a great idea, and the next thing I knew, my parents and I were starting a company.”

Like, a play on teenage lingo and the name of Kendall’s new company, has five styles of luggage including a rolling carry-on, duffle bag, laptop carrier, accessory bag and a draw-string backpack. All pieces, except the draw-string backpacks, are available in six bright-colored, polka-dotted patterns. The series name, “Dots Mine” was based on a person looking for their luggage, and this series standing out on the carousel, with them proclaiming “Dots Mine.”
