Description
The vintage poster designed by Robert Falcucci for Rhum Mangoustan’s is a captivating piece of mid-20th-century advertising art. This vibrant and eye-catching poster was created to promote the unique flavor of Rhum Mangoustan’s, capturing the exotic allure of the Caribbean and the festive spirit that rum embodies.
At the center of the poster is an elegantly depicted bottle of Rhum Mangoustan’s, tilted at a dynamic angle that gives the impression it is being poured or offered in celebration. The bottle’s label is rendered with intricate detail, drawing attention to the brand’s identity and the product's Caribbean origins. The rich, dark hue of the rum contrasts sharply with the glowing background, which transitions from a warm yellow to a deep red, evoking the warmth of the tropics and the fiery spirit of the drink itself.
Falcucci, known for his skill in combining vivid color with bold, graphic design, utilizes a dazzling array of stars that appear to burst from the bottle. These starbursts not only add a sense of movement and excitement but also suggest the effervescence and celebratory nature of rum as a drink. The overall composition exudes a sense of festivity, making it clear that Rhum Mangoustan’s is a beverage meant for joyous occasions.
The typography is equally striking. The brand name "Mangoustan's" is displayed prominently in large, bold letters, ensuring that it catches the viewer's eye immediately. The use of red, gold, and green colors in the text aligns with the Caribbean theme, while the slogan at the bottom, “tout l’arôme des Antilles” (all the aroma of the Antilles), reinforces the product's promise of an authentic and aromatic Caribbean experience.
This poster is not just an advertisement; it is a work of art that reflects the cultural and social values of its time. The 1950s and 1960s saw a surge in the popularity of exotic and tropical-themed products in Europe and North America, driven by post-war affluence and a fascination with far-off lands. Rhum Mangoustan’s, with its promise of Caribbean flavors, would have appealed to this growing desire for adventure and indulgence.
Robert Falcucci's design perfectly captures the essence of the product it advertises: bold, flavorful, and full of life. The poster is a testament to the power of visual art in advertising, using a blend of color, imagery, and typography to create a lasting impression on the viewer.
Today, this poster is a cherished piece of vintage advertising, admired not only for its commercial appeal but also for its artistic value. It remains a vibrant example of how the art of advertising can transcend its commercial purpose to become a symbol of an era and a celebration of cultural identity.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
