During the mid-20th century, international travel expanded rapidly thanks to commercial air travel, post-war prosperity, and a growing fascination with the “exotic.” For American and European tourists, the Caribbean, and Trinidad in particular, offered a vibrant mix of colonial history, natural beauty, and cultural appeal. Souvenir items like enamel map cufflinks and lapel pins were popular ways to commemorate these journeys. Often sold in airport gift shops, hotel boutiques, or ocean liner gift counters, they blended style and sentiment, allowing travelers to carry a bit of the destination back home in a wearable form.
