It's called a "monogram patch" and is for putting initials (or some other personalized mark) on, mainly as a way of differentiating your bag from all of the other similar looking ones.

Tumi are best known for this, and in fact have an page on their website regarding it - see here, although as you've discovered a number of other brands of luggage do the same thing on at least some of their products.
