A luggage article (100, 200, 300) with interlocking zipper pull tabs (146, 148, 246a, 246b) may include one or more opening lines (114, 134, 214, 234, 314) with zippers (130, 136, 230, 236, 330) positioned along peripheries of the opening lines (114, 134, 214, 234, 314). Each zipper (130, 136, 230, 236, 330) may include two zipper sliders (142, 144, 342) with associated zipper pull tabs (146, 148, 246, 346a, 346b). At least one of the zipper pull tabs (146, 246, 346a) may include an engagement feature (162, 362), and at least another of the zipper pull tabs (148, 246, 346b) may include an aperture (178, 378) sized to receive the engagement feature (162, 362) therethough. The engagement feature (162, 362) may be positioned through the aperture (178, 378) and into a zipper pull tab receiver (172, 372) on a lock (166, 366) attached to the luggage article (100, 200, 300) to secure both zipper pull tabs (146, 148, 246, 248, 346a, 346b) to the lock (166, 366). In some articles, four zipper pull tabs (146, 148, 246, 248) may be simultaneously secured to the lock (166) using two zipper pull tab receivers (172) on the lock (166).
