Bold navy lettering spells out "Ansett. Airlines of Australia." on this cream label, with the airline's London address, 49 Old Bond Street, printed beneath. Reg Ansett founded the company in 1935, and its first route, Hamilton to Melbourne, began in February 1936. The airline took the name Ansett Airlines of Australia on 1 November 1968 and became Ansett Australia in 1990, which places this understated design within that period. It is a quiet reminder that an Australian domestic giant kept a shopfront in London's West End.
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.
