Not a souvenir but a working label: this bilingual Fragile/Fragil tag, printed as Northwest Form 5-2645, was stuck on bags that needed careful handling. A red wine glass fills the center, and the base carries the circled N logo Northwest adopted with its 1989 Landor-designed identity. Northwest, founded in 1926 as Northwest Airways, flew under that look until 2003 and merged into Delta, with its last flights operating in January 2010. A small piece of ramp history that still reads instantly today.
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.
