This 1950s TWA poster by Bob Smith paints Southern California in warm yellows: a whitewashed Spanish mission with its bell tower — identified by dealers as Old Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786 — framed by tall palms, blooming aloes and blue water, with a Lockheed Constellation in the sky. "Los Angeles" is lettered in an easy script with "Fly TWA!" beneath. It captures the postwar California dream that TWA was selling on its coast-to-coast routes.
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.
