Rainbow bands, palm trees and a blazing sun turn Los Angeles into pure pop color in this 1970 poster for American Airlines. Psychedelic graphics had moved from concert posters into mainstream advertising by the end of the 1960s, and American's designers borrowed the look to sell Southern California sunshine to a younger generation of travelers. The same year, American began flying its new Boeing 747 Astroliners coast to coast, bringing far more seats to the Los Angeles route. The artist is not recorded.
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.
