Not a souvenir but a working label: a bold yellow arrow on black, framed in yellow, told baggage and cargo handlers which way up a package had to travel, with the Royal Brunei Airlines name and form number CS 221 printed along the bottom. Royal Brunei was established in November 1974 and began flying in May 1975 from Brunei International Airport, near Bandar Seri Begawan. Simple graphic labels like this were made to be read at a glance on a busy ramp.
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.
