Eagle Creek debuts NFC connected luggage

Eagle Creek, the luxury luggage brand owned by VF Corp., created a bag collection with near-field communications (NFC) chips to activate a cloud-based web experience when tapped with a smartphone, per an announcement shared with Mobile Marketer. Travelers can see a personalized dashboard that shows all the places they've traveled, along a leaderboard that ranks their mileage against the other owners of its line of Caldera luggage. Eagle Creek also provides a lost-and-found feature to help people locate misplaced bags, warranty registration features and detailed product information and videos.
