A fascinating collection from the historic crossroads of Europe, our Portable Document Format (PDF) collage features a selection of 12 vintage luggage labels from the heart of continental culture: France, Belgium and the Netherlands. More than just relics, these labels are vibrant storytellers of their time, capturing the elegance and prestige of the golden age of travel.
This range includes the iconic Hotel Gallia of Paris, a place synonymous with the allure and romance of the French capital. With its regal imagery, it reflects the grandeur of the era and is located close to the famous Champs Elysées. Then there is the Hôtel Mirabeau, standing proudly on the Rue de la Paix, a name that speaks to the city’s tranquil yet luxurious atmosphere. Not far away in spirit, Hotel Terminus Den Haag evokes the stately charm of the Netherlands with its depiction of the quintessential Dutch windmill, symbolising a serene escape in the bustling city of The Hague.
Moving on to Belgium, we find the Hotel Siru, a beacon of modernity in Brussels with its sleek Art Deco design, indicative of the architectural innovation of the period. This collection of vintage travel stickers also includes Amsterdam’s Victoria Hotel, whose silhouette against a twilight sky, with a couple gazing towards new horizons, embodies the wanderlust that defined travellers of the era.
Amidst these hotel labels, we find nods to the era’s pioneering spirit in transport, with vintage labels from KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Air France. The former, with its regal crest, recalls the dawn of commercial flight, while the latter’s stylised image of a plane flying over a calm sea speaks to the new horizons that air travel promised to the adventurers of the time.
Each vintage label in this curated collection is a masterpiece of graphic design, a burst of colour and style that transcends time. They were once emblems of a traveller’s taste and sophistication, proudly displayed on their luggage as a visual journal of their globetrotting adventures. Today they serve as beautiful artefacts, a celebration of a time when every journey was a grand affair and every destination promised a story waiting to be told.
For those who appreciate history, design and the allure of a time when travel was a luxurious pursuit, this PDF collage is a treasure trove. It invites collectors, designers, historians and dreamers alike to own a fragment of the past that continues to inspire the art of travel and exploration.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PDF downloads are crafted from digitally enhanced quality images from original vintage luggage labels. Files can be saved to your PC or MAC and then used over and over again. Each label on the sheet measures 2 1/2″.
These digital sheets are formatted to print on Avery® White High-Visibility Labels for Laser Printers 5294, 2-1/2″ which can easily be purchased online. When used with self-adhesive printer paper, these labels can be printed and pasted on many surfaces like books, laptops, boxes, pieces of luggage, and much more. They make fun party stickers too!
You can alternatively print our PDF files on any A4 paper your printer allows, like for instance a full A4 sheet sticker, and cut them off individually by using a round 2.5″ glass or shape, and a cutter. You might also want to use stickier paper if you want to paste the labels on your suitcase, as the Avery labels are easier to peal-off over time. Keep in mind that after printing, leave the labels to dry before using them, as the ink could rub off if you use them immediately.
The image preview on the page is a low-resolution jpg and is not suitable for printing. The copy that you receive will be in a high-resolution PDF format.
