A pale twin-engine airliner glides across a blue oval lettered Flying the Trans-Southern Route, above Delta's early winged emblem with a red triangle at its heart. Trans-Southern was Delta's name for its east-west line across the South: in 1934 the airline won Air Mail Route 24 from Charleston, South Carolina, to Fort Worth, Texas, starting mail service on 4 July with Stinson Model T aircraft and carrying passengers again from 5 August. Labels like this travelled on suitcases along that route.
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.
