This restored, vintage-style design advertises Imperial Airways flights to Le Touquet, the resort town on the French side of the English Channel. The art pairs the French and British flags side by side, a simple and confident emblem of the short hop between the two countries. Imperial Airways was the British airline of the years between the two world wars, and its posters sold air travel as the smart, modern way to reach the Continent. The image has been cleaned up and re-created for printing, keeping the bold flat colors and lettering of the period.
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.
