Big, confident "TAI" letters and an airliner in a yellow sky make up this 1950 poster for Transports Aériens Intercontinentaux. TAI was founded in 1946 and quickly became one of France's principal international airlines, building long-haul routes from Paris to Africa, Indochina and the Pacific. Its 1950s fleet ran from the DC-3 and DC-4 to the Douglas DC-6, and in 1963 the company merged with UAT to create UTA. The design keeps things to the essentials, letting the airline's name and its aircraft carry the message.
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.
