This TWA poster looks across Piazza San Marco in Venice, with the domes and arches of St. Mark's Basilica on one side, the tall brick Campanile on the other, pigeons wheeling over the square and a Constellation overhead. The big red "Fly TWA ITALY" lettering sits on a clean white ground below. The Constellation dates it to TWA's propeller era of the 1950s; one dealer credits it to David Klein, though that attribution is not confirmed.
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.
