There was a time when pilots outshined movie stars, when flight attendants were stewardesses with chic hats and white gloves, and when Pan Am rules the world – or at least the skies above it.

Pan Am’s wings may have been clipped in 1991 when the company took its last flight, but it’s about to sore into the fashion world with the latest arrival of travel bags baring the brands iconic logo.

In honor of Pan Am’s 80th Anniversary the brand is reissuing a core group of twelve travel/cabin bags. Each bag depicts a timeline in the company’s history from the very first Pan American Airways bags PAA winged logo to the iconic Pan Am Blie Globe logo used today.

The collection has a retro feel that’s in sync with fashions current fascination with all things sixties. The color pallet is all blue and white, traditional Pan Am. Expect different variations of carry-on bags (which double as great gym bags) in bowler, tote, shoulder and messenger styles.

There will also be a Limited Edition Anniversary Collection incorporating the vintage travel poster artwork that was commissioned by Pan Am from internationally renowned artists Norman Rockwell, Peter Max and Ian Marshall.
