An oval cream bag sticker for Trans Asiatic Airlines, Inc., its giant blue TAA letters standing over a hand-drawn scene of palm trees and city buildings. Across the top runs the airline's name in Chinese characters, and the English name curves around the bottom rim. Labels like this were given to passengers to paste on their suitcases, turning luggage into a traveling advertisement. The small company behind this colorful design is little documented today, which makes surviving stickers like this one a rare reminder of it.
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.
