American illustrator Al Moore (1910–1991) painted this Hawaii poster for Pan American World Airways around 1960, when the airline billed itself as the World's Most Experienced Airline. A hula dancer in a red and white floral sarong stands against a textured green background patterned like tapa cloth, an orange lei around her neck and a flower tucked in her hair. Bright lettering spells out Hawaii above her, with the Pan Am name and slogan below. It is a classic piece of the marketing that sold the islands to mainland travelers at the dawn of the jet age.
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.
