"Fly by CIT" uses myth to sell modern travel. Against a deep blue sky, the winged horse Pegasus carries a group of travelers high above a scattering of famous landmarks, turning a journey into something out of legend. CIT was a major Italian travel organization, and its posters promoted Italy and air travel to an international public. The flying horse is a clever choice, an ancient symbol of flight that needs no translation, and the landmarks below suggest a whole grand tour taken in a single sweep through the sky.
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.
