Traditional huts and the tall, narrow pines that define New Caledonia's coastline stand against a rich red ground in this 1958 poster for TAI. The French archipelago in the southwest Pacific was a natural destination for Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux, which added Australia and New Caledonia to its routes in 1956. TAI flew Douglas DC-6 airliners on its long Pacific services, part of a network that stretched from Paris across Africa and Asia. In 1963 the airline merged with UAT to form UTA.
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.
