This artwork comes from the cover of Sabena's "Horaires & Tarifs" (timetables and fares) for summer 1950. Under the line "Vous etes en bonnes mains" (you are in good hands), a smiling air hostess in a navy uniform holds a little child against the backdrop of an airliner. After the Second World War, Sabena expanded with DC-4, DC-6 and DC-7 aircraft and made general use of air hostesses on board. The Belgian airline had begun operations in 1923 and flew until 2001.
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.
