I love Tumi luggage! I travel a decent bit and it's held up so much better than any other luggage I've owned. They don't have many prints, but some of their lines do come in colors. Aside from their indestructability, the interiors are fabulous because they're so efficient! My large suitcase has a space for hanging clothes, lots of storage pockets, an expansion, and a removable dress bag. Their stuff is pricey, but you could get a large suitcase for under $1000. Mine was $750, I think. http://www.tumi.com/
I once went with my mom to get my dad a new briefcase at a Hartmann outlet. I was impressed with some of the patterned luggage they carried. It was pretty cute and colorful. Plus, I think it has a good reputation for being good quality.
This DVF pattern has been showing up at a lot of TJ Maxx's. I've been to three in three different cities and they have all had it. One word of caution, I travel weekly for work and I have a beautiful blue and cream DVF roll bag for 6 months. Within one airport trip, it was ruined. So I would be cautious with any lighter colors that would show a lot of dirt.
That being said, I have a Tumi T3 roll bag that I really like. I would definitely get a size bigger than what you need b/c of the shape, its a little odd to pack. It comes in silver, black, blue and orange (or at least it did when i got mine a couple of years ago).

I saw it at my TJM too. My sister has a set of DVF luggage, though, and it got ruined pretty easily too. One girl on my trip this summer had a darker pattern, though, and it looked great after 2 weeks of being hauled around!
