This round label rings the words Cyprus Airways around two red lions passant on a pale ground, the same pair of lions that appears on a 1949 poster promoting the young airline. Cyprus Airways was set up on 24 September 1947 as a joint venture of the colonial government, British European Airways and private interests, and began flying in April 1948 with three Douglas DC-3s. Airlines of the period handed passengers labels like this one to paste on their suitcases. The carrier later flew from Larnaca until it ceased operations in January 2015.
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.
