With their strong lines and colourful illustrations,\u003cbr\u003ethose affixed by airlines bear witness to their time. Legendary carriers such\u003cbr\u003eas Swissair, Japan Airlines, Air France, Delta Airlines and Varig inspired\u003cbr\u003eheavenly heights of imagination, dissolving boundaries along the way.\u003cbr\u003eThe trunk-maker began serving this new golden age of travel well before\u003cbr\u003eregular connections became accessible to passengers. As early as 1910,\u003cbr\u003ehe developed luggage pieces specifically suited to very first aeroplanes\u003cbr\u003e- the Aéro trunk, weighing under 57 pounds, and its ladies' counterpart,\u003cbr\u003ethe Aviette, only about 62 pounds. These quickly gained favour with\u003cbr\u003edashing pilots like Louis Blériot, Roland Garros and Charles Lindbergh.\u003cbr\u003eOwing to his generous girth, Gaston-Louis Vuitton even enjoyed the honour\u003cbr\u003eof joining the first line of defence to protect the American aviator from\u003cbr\u003ethe great gathering of humanity charging his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis,\u003cbr\u003ewhen it landed at Le Bourget on 21 May 1927. Lindbergh had just\u003cbr\u003ecompleted the first non-stop transatlantic flight, connecting New York and\u003cbr\u003eParis in thirty-three hours and thirty minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe House is pleased to present thirty vintage airline labels from\u003cbr\u003ethe Gaston-Louis Vuitton collection, reproduced as postcards. Following\u003cbr\u003eupon the releases of three earlier box sets as well as a hardcover volume,\u003cbr\u003ethe trunk-maker continues to pay tribute to the bygone tradition of sticking\u003cbr\u003elabels on the trunks and luggage pieces of great travellers.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFREE EXPRESS SHIPPING\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSHIPS WITHIN 24HR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHASSLE-FREE RETURNS","brand":"Louis Vuitton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43169644544063,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/4164\/9215\/files\/static-c2878144-fb2d-4c6e-af70-3bcb200c6626_5f03c7bf-5223-4e1c-a4e3-24616253a570.jpg?v=1777255991","url":"https:\/\/provenance.shop\/products\/%f0%9f%94%b4-louis-vuitton-ocean-liner-labels-sticker-postcard-aef-1","provider":"PROVENANCE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
