This duffel bag showcases a collage of authentic pre-1960s classifieds from Black American newspapers and magazines. Ads highlight HBCUs, trade schools, and regalia suppliers—offering a rare look at the educational ambitions of the era. Many featured businesses no longer exist, making this a wearable tribute to Black history.
Whether you're drawn to the history or the aesthetic, this bag brings meaning to everyday travel. A great gift for HBCU students, educators, vintage lovers, and cultural collectors. Made from lightweight, tear-resistant nylon, it comes in two sizes—small (19x9.5x9.5 in) and large (23x12x12 in)—both carry-on friendly. Features include padded, adjustable straps, a roomy main compartment, internal zip pocket, external mesh pocket, and a sewn-in name tag. Customization available.
