A round yellow label showing a woman in a red skirt with a brass water pot under a palm frond, a twin-engined airliner flying overhead, and AIR INDIA with 'The Tata Line' in red script. The airline was founded by J.R.D. Tata on 15 October 1932 as Tata Airlines, its first flight carrying mail from Karachi to Bombay. On 29 July 1946 it became a public company named Air India, and in 1953 the government took majority control. The Tata Line tagline recalls those founding years. Passengers received labels like this for their bags.
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.
