Pan American World Airways promoted its South Pacific service with this "Australia & New Zealand by Clipper" poster, featuring a cheerful mix of symbols from both countries. Sailboats skim across the water, while a koala represents Australia and a kiwi stands in for New Zealand, each country's most famous animal given its own place in the composition. The design captures the outdoor, seaside spirit of the two nations at the far end of the Pacific. For American travelers, a Pan Am Clipper was the way to cross that great ocean and reach the other side of the world.

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.

Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
