Vintage Hotel Label Rio, c. 1950
Our labels are guaranteed authentic and were used by hotels to freely advertise to the world by giving them away to patrons as modern communication/marketing modes were not available to them. These travelers would then proudly adorn their suitcases using such labels to display their worldliness. Travelling was not nearly as easy and widespread as it is today. The common man could not afford it and exotic destinations were reserved to the elite. Also called luggage labels these pieces are so colorful and elegant they have often become the centerpieces of ephemera collections. These small pieces of art featured some of the finest graphic designs of the times, and the dreams attached to them were treasured. Hotel luggage labels were part of the burgeoning business of travel between 1890 and WWII involving the building of more hotels and more popular transportation such as steamships and trains. They are used in any setting, from offices to restaurants, bedroom to living room, etc, etc...
