Soft and dreamlike, this “Australia – Sydney with KLM” poster shows a landscape floating like an island in a pale sky, an invitation to the far side of the world. For KLM Royal Dutch Air Lines, Australia sat at the end of one of its longest routes, reached from Amsterdam by way of Asia. The airline's ties to the region ran deep: KLM's DC-2 “Uiver” made headlines in the 1934 MacRobertson air race from England to Melbourne. The artist and exact date of this poster are not recorded here.

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.
