A bold diagonal splits this round sticker into hot pink and deep navy, with a long-necked bird gliding across the top and a small winged emblem beneath the Trans-Texas Airways name. Route of the Starliners runs around the lower edge, the slogan the airline adopted after it began calling its Douglas DC-3s Starliners in 1949. Trans-Texas was based near Houston's Hobby Airport and grew from DC-3s to Convairs and DC-9 jets before changing its name in 1969 and later merging into Continental Airlines in 1982. Passengers were given stickers like this to put on their suitcases.
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.
