Ella Freire is a London based screen printing artist, who has been working out of her Wimbledon studio for the last 14 years. She has been inspired by classic cars, vintage cameras and a huge collection
of 60's and 70's bus and airplane luggage tags, train and bus tickets, and matchbox labels.

A few years ago she had the time to delve back in to her large collection of Pan Am luggage tags with their wonderful graphics and iconic designs from the Golden Age of travel. She had always wanted to do really large prints of these, which have always appealed to her because of their simplicity and bold colours.

Ella has replicated the tags as closely as possible to the originals with their bright colour palette. The artwork is printed on 100% cotton archival paper, then mounted on to card and cut out to shape, including the perforated edges, punched hole through a reinforced tab overlaid on the print. The labels are printed in a very limited editions of 25 for each of the large and small sizes.

Ella has been licensed by Pan Am Brands to create these limited edition prints. Her highly sought after artwork is currently displayed in the Pan Am Museum Gallery in New York.

Ella is represented by Air Contemporary Gallery in London, UK and
J. Nunez Galleries in the USA.

Ella’s luggage label prints have been accepted at this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
