Now the Bear Flies TWA, says this white oval sticker, with red speed stripes and a small black bear on a shield, the heraldic bear of Berlin. TWA kept a pilot base in Berlin for Boeing 727s flying its European routes, and the sticker plays on that Berlin connection with a cheerful Cold War-era wink. Trans World Airlines, which grew from Transcontinental and Western Air in 1930, became one of America's great international carriers before American Airlines acquired its assets in 2001.
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.
