Back in the 70s and 80s when international travel really became popular. I love these bags, not only are they of a very specific time in history but they also had to be functional as well as act as an advertisement to the company they were representing.

I have been lucky enough to be able to get my hands on them to upcycled into cycling pannier bags.

These are the bags shown below:

• FRAM Voyages — French holiday style from another era
