Pierre Fix-Masseau created this romantic design for the Venice Simplon Orient Express around 1980: a heart shape framing Paris, with the Eiffel Tower rising into the sky beside the French flag, under the route "London Paris Venice." Fix-Masseau, also known as a sculptor, became the artist most closely tied to the train's revival and produced the last edition of original Orient Express posters. They looked back to a legend that began with the first Orient-Express service on October 4, 1883, and reached its height of glamour in the 1920s and 1930s.

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.

Note: Bags not intended for use by children 12 and under.
