A green map of the islands, the Philippine flag and little huts float on a pale blue sea in this PHILIPPINES label, inside the navy band of Pan American World Airways, The System of the Flying Clippers. Manila was the far end of Pan Am's first Pacific route: the first transpacific airmail flight left Alameda on November 22, 1935, and reached Manila on November 29, with passenger flights from October 1936. Labels like this went home on travellers' suitcases.
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.
