Three green winged emblems are spread across this aged paper label, along with the words Misr Airwork, Egyptian Air Lines and Cairo. Misr Airwork was the forerunner of today's EgyptAir: its airline division was established on June 7, 1932, as a venture between Misr Bank and the British firm Airwork. In 1949 the Egyptian government took full ownership and renamed the company Misrair, and the airline became EgyptAir in 1971. Passengers received labels like this to paste on their luggage, a reminder of Egypt's pioneering early airline.
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.
