A white roundel spells out 'Braniff Airways' in blue around a globe showing the Americas, with 'International' swept across the middle in red script. Braniff took the Braniff International Airways name after winning South American routes in 1946, and its first flights south, via Cuba and Panama, began on June 4, 1948, with service to Lima following two weeks later. Labels like this were given to passengers so a suitcase could show off where its owner had been.
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.
