Set on a cool teal ground, this vintage-style design for Imperial Airways pairs a route map with an airliner and the names Africa, India, Egypt and England. Egypt was the crossroads of Imperial's network: from there the services branched south through Africa and east toward India, all tied back to London. Route maps were a favorite theme of the airline's publicity, showing how far the red-letter British routes now reached. Imperial Airways flew these Empire routes until it became part of BOAC at the start of the 1940s. This is a modern restoration-style artwork rather than a dated original.
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.
