LUGGAGE LABELS PLAYING CARDS celebrating the golden age of travel, when a well-travelled suitcase could become a colourful record of adventures around the world. This collection of vintage luggage labels brings together the graphic art of hotels, railways, ocean liners and resorts, created to tempt an increasingly adventurous generation of travellers.
From grand European hotels and Alpine resorts to glamorous sea voyages and far-flung destinations, these miniature advertisements promised sunshine, sophistication and escape. Their bold typography, vivid illustration and elegant Art Deco design also tell a fascinating story of vintage travel advertising, long before holidays were sold on a screen.
Today, original luggage labels are highly collectible pieces of travel ephemera. They evoke an era of steamer trunks, railway journeys and grand hotels, when getting there could be every bit as stylish as arriving.
Carefully curated and richly printed, these vintage travel playing cards bring together a colourful selection of historic luggage labels in a distinctive collectors’ deck. An unusual gift for travellers, collectors and lovers of vintage graphic design.
