Inside a red double ring, a white Braathens SAFE tail fin bearing the Norwegian flag rises against a blue sky, a small jet passing in the distance and 'The Norwegian Flag Carrier' written in flowing script above. Airlines gave out stickers like this one for travelers to put on their luggage. Braathens SAFE was founded in 1946 by shipowner Ludvig G. Braathen; its initials stood for South American and Far East Air Transport, a reminder of its early long-haul ambitions.
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.
