Three letters, endless meaning. Airport codes are more than just travel logistics — they’re badges of identity, memory, and aspiration. Whether it’s where you’re from, where you’ve been, or where you’re dreaming of going, your chosen airport code says something personal about you.
Airport Codes as Personal Markers
We’ve all seen it: someone sipping from a YYZ mug in Toronto, wearing an LAX hat in Vancouver, or decorating their living room with a CDG throw pillow. These airport codes aren’t just functional tags — they’re visual shorthand for connection, belonging, and meaning. They quietly tell the world something about where your heart is.
Are You Repping Your Hometown?
For many, airport codes are a way of staying grounded. A YUL water bottle for the Montrealer studying abroad. A JFK hoodie for the New Yorker who’s relocated to the West Coast. These three-letter codes represent where we’re from and remind us of our roots — no matter how far we roam.
Celebrating a Favourite Destination
Others choose airport code products based on where they’ve been — or where they long to go. An SXM print might evoke memories of a Caribbean honeymoon. An HNL blanket can summon the relaxed pace of a Hawaiian escape. In these cases, the code becomes a souvenir — a beautiful, functional reminder of a meaningful journey.
Dreamers, Jetsetters, and Storytellers
Sometimes, it’s not about the past but the future. Do you have your sights set on CDG for a Parisian getaway? Or maybe SYD for a long-awaited Australian adventure? Your favourite airport code might reflect your personality — stylish, bold, curious, nostalgic, or driven.
Think of it as a visual vision board. One that travels with you — or inspires you to keep moving forward.
Design Meets Identity
At YHM Designs, we believe that home decor, apparel, and everyday accessories can be both beautiful and meaningful. Each piece in our collection features a vintage baggage tag design — a nod to the golden age of air travel and the emotional connections we form through our journeys.
Whether you're sipping coffee from a LHR mug or throwing on a SFO sweatshirt for your morning walk, you're expressing something about your identity. Your story. Your path.
So … What’s Your Code?
Are you a proud hometown hero? A nostalgic globetrotter? A dreamer charting your next escape?
