An English-language entry in LTU's red slogan series, this sticker invites travellers to "Steal the Heart of Europe." above the boxed LTU International Airways logo. The wording suggests it was aimed at visitors flying into Germany rather than Germans heading south. LTU began flying in 1956 and was headquartered at Düsseldorf from 1961, later adding long-haul routes with wide-body jets. Passengers received stickers like this from the airline to put on their luggage, a little piece of advertising that travelled the world.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
