A sun-bleached, smiling woman, swaying palms and a movie camera share a sunshine-yellow sheet in this 1960s American Airlines poster for California. The camera is a nod to Hollywood, one of the state's biggest draws for travelers, and the whole design leans on light and color to sell the promise of year-round sun. By the 1960s American's jets linked New York and the East with Los Angeles and San Francisco nonstop, and California posters were a mainstay of its advertising. The artist is 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.
