What is this extra item that came with my travel bag?

@Michael and @tohecz are close… but not quite there.

It’s not actually a luggage tag… rather it is a protector for your luggage tag.

It works like this one:

However the rounded shape is intended specifically for the luggage tag that comes on some Guess luggage, such as the one shown here:

I suspect your bag came with a similarly shaped luggage tag.

The long slit allows you to reveal the luggage tag for reading, then easily slides back in place.

Why a luggage tag protector is important is beyond me.

But I believe that’s what your mystery item is.

I would agree with what Michael says: it’s for your personal badge. Typical usage is that you put inside a heavy-paper card with your name and home address. Typically, you put the name there in such a way that it’s visible when the paper is inside (so that you can identify your luggage), and you put your home address in such a way that it’s covered (so that nobody can get it easily, but still the luggage can be shipped to you if you lose it).

However, I am yet a bit dubious because these things are usually attached to the luggage quite firmly.

I believe it is a credit card holder, wallet. The slot is there to make it easy to push the card(s) out of the wallet.

I found an example of something somewhat similar that might help confirm my guess.

The main thing that makes me unsure of my guess is the rounded shape… I would expect a credit card wallet to have square corners to hold the cards snug.

I guess that you can put a label with your personal information there, so that the finder knows who the bag belongs to in case the bag is lost.
