Warm orange light washes over this Pan Am invitation to Cuba: a tall palm leans over a classical colonnade, with the Caribbean opening out beyond it. The artist is not recorded. Cuba sat at the very start of the Pan American story. On October 28, 1927, the airline flew its first scheduled service from Meacham Field in Key West to Havana in a three-engined Fokker F-VII, later named the "General Machado," carrying 772 pounds of U.S. mail. Paying passengers followed in January 1928, and Havana became the gateway from which Pan Am spread across the Caribbean and Latin America.
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.
