Instead of freeways or film stars, this American Airlines poster shows Los Angeles through a warm yellow street of old Spanish-style buildings shaded by palms, a reminder of the city's origins as a Spanish and Mexican pueblo. American promoted Los Angeles in dozens of posters from the 1940s through the 1970s, often leaning on Hollywood and sunshine; this design takes the slower, historic view, bathed in the golden light the airline used again and again to sell Southern California. The artist and date are not recorded.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
