Less a souvenir than a working label, this navy-bordered square reads Routing Instructions, Ship via Alaska Airlines, beneath a winged badge carrying the airline's red globe emblem. Labels like this told shippers and handlers which carrier should move a parcel. Cargo sits close to the heart of Alaska Airlines, which began in 1932 flying freight and passengers out of Anchorage, later flew cargo during the Berlin Airlift, and leaned on its cargo business again to return to profit in the 1990s.
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.
