Golden wings marked U.S. Airmail spread across the center of this roundel, ringed in orange and navy and lettered Northwest Airlines Inc. The design nods to the airline's roots: Northwest was founded in 1926 as Northwest Airways to fly mail for the U.S. Post Office Department, and took the Northwest Airlines name in 1934. Passengers who flew with the company were given stickers like this to decorate their luggage, carrying the airmail emblem to hotels and stations across the country.
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.
