Vintage Airline Flight Bags
I am trying to buy some vintage airline bags - preferably United. Does anyone know where to look? I have tried ebay but not UA one I was after. I think they would make a great purse.

This site also has vintage airline things, but prices tend to be higher and, as with eBay, you never know what they may have (no UA totes as present that I found).

IIRC UA has its online shop for UA branded merchandise. Sorry don't remember the address.

The bags can be bought for less than $5.00
Go to Goodwill or Salvation army stores. I saw a Brazilian Airline bag last week, I have also purchased 2 VIRGIN Kid's red bags.I've seen Pan Am on past trips as well as amenity kits from C class on various airlines.There must be so many in your area.

How cool. Happy hunting. I remember really wanting an airline bag after seeing a fashion spread about 10 years ago. My grandmother had a few in great condition but was still using them, so I didn't ask her to part with them. (Though I was tempted. . .)

But ended up just buying it. I had bid on a few others, but didnt manage to win them.
Thanks for help everyone.
