A red disc on a cream square announces "Besetzt, Occupied, Occupé, Ocupado" in German, English, French and Spanish, signed off with the Lufthansa name. Rather than a luggage decoration, this was a practical label for marking something as taken, and its four languages reflect the airline's international reach. Lufthansa won approval to begin scheduled flights again on 1 April 1955 and quickly added London, Paris, Madrid and New York, rebuilding a worldwide network from the ground up.
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.
