A red label with a white cracked wine glass warns "Fragile" in English and asks handlers in Chinese characters to handle with care, with the word Chermat across the glass and the Royal Brunei name and crest at the foot, along with form number CS 214A. Royal Brunei Airlines was established in 1974 and flew its first services in May 1975, Hong Kong among them, which helps explain a bilingual tag. Labels like this did their job on the ramp and were rarely saved.
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.
