A silver twin-engine airliner banks through grey clouds above a sweeping red ribbon lettered UNITED AIR LINES, with THE 'MAIN LINE' COAST-TO-COAST beneath on a white and blue band. The Main Line was United's name for its New York-Chicago-San Francisco route, and 'The Main Line Airway' served as its slogan until 1965. United Air Lines had been formed in 1931 from pioneering airmail carriers. Airlines handed stickers like this to passengers, who pasted them on suitcases as souvenirs of the trip.
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.
