CNN —Romance was in the air at London’s St. Pancras station on Tuesday, and not just because burgeoning power couple Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner were spotted returning from a trip to Paris.
Beyond their similar leather jackets, there was something nostalgic, even sentimental about their looks.
Turner wheeled a silver Rimowa cabin case decked out with a smorgasbord of luggage stickers.
The fashion for luggage patches began around the 1900s — they were typically offered by grand, palatial hotels.
“In this age of nostalgia… I say bring back the travel sticker,” wrote the New York Times in 1971, insisting that the colorful decorations are key to evoking pleasant memories and standing out from the crowd.
