This bag is identical to the 2000 version except both sides are printed, not just the front.

Kenya Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2014
Received From: Kate Lukof
Print or Image Color: Red, Gold, Navy, Green
Background / Bag Color: White
Kenya Airways invests in bag design, introducing Green, Red and Gold lanyards. They also call themselves "The Pride of Africa". On the bottom of the bag it says

WELCOME ABOARD!
We hope you don't have to use this.

Which I think is a quite decent sentiment.

Khalifa Airways

Approximate Vintage: 2001

Print or Image Color: Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
I'm not sure which of the Khalifa's in the museum preceded the other. This variant is a severely downsized logo, but substantively the same as the 2002.

This bag looks a lot like Air Algerie with a turkey-vulture logo.

Kingfisher

Approximate Vintage: 2007
Received From: Alan Howlett
Print or Image Color: Red
Background / Bag Color: White
Very plain, very generic Indian Bag that looks just like Go Air without a logo.

Kish Air

Received From: Thomas Blickle
Print or Image Color: Orange
Background / Bag Color: White
Aww, cute. A mother slug and its 3 babies looking for the Golden Delicious apple. But she's headed in the wrong direction! I guess even the life of a slug is hard in Iran.

Kish Air

Approximate Vintage: 2014

Print or Image Color: Navy, Orange, Yellow
Background / Bag Color: White
"We care about you" the bag chortles

The logo is still a slug, but no more babies. I really have no idea what year this bag is from, but I'm guessing mid-2010s (2014).

KLM

Received From: Mari van Rijbroek
Print or Image Color: Blue, Navy
Background / Bag Color: Blue, Navy, White
According to vomit expert, Nancy Shufeldt, This has instructions in Dutch. That is pretty unusual and I don't know where is comes from but I am guessing some small South African airline or maybe a charter service airline from one of the Dutch islands in the Caribbean. It is not from any of the regular Dutch Airlines travelling out of Holland. Peter Lommers disagrees and maintains that it is from KLM or KLM Cityhopper in the 80s. J. van Driel agrees, that it was a KLM from used until the early 80s.

Big time collector, Thomas Homer Goetz claims it's from the Dutch Antillean Airlines. I wouldn't be surprised if it was used on both.

Reproduction expert (?) Joey Cornelissen from the Netherlands says, "This isn't a sickness bag. You know women use this when they are in their period. You probarbly will know what I mean. It mostly hangs in Bathrooms at restaurants. I heard about your site on Dutch television and I thought let's look. And when I saw this back I read the instructions in Dutch, because I'm Dutch. It's a bag for women to throw there 'dirty' press-on panty-liners in. So not a bag to throw up in. "

Putting all doubt to rest, former premier big-time collector Ben Guttery passes his expert opinion that it is KLM, and so it is noted as such.

Identical to the other old KLM bag, but the bottom of this bag says it was printed in the Netherlands. Important information indeed!

Front and back are the same on this bag.

KLM

Received From: Dean Eckert
Print or Image Color: Blue, Navy
Background / Bag Color: Blue, Navy, White
Identical to the other old KLM bag, but this one sports an advertisement for Primatour motion sickness remedy on the bottom of the bag. And just in case this isn't enough of a drug fix for you, the folds try to sell you Afluvit (for colds and flu) and Pestex Insecticide, just in case the KLM coach seats are suddenly overrun by termites or praying mantises.

KLM

Approximate Vintage: 1983

Print or Image Color: Blue and White
Background / Bag Color: White
Carries "Dusty" the happy kangaroo.

KLM

Approximate Vintage: 1994
Received From: Albert Oosenbrug
Print or Image Color: Blue + well, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
KLM somehow justifies incurring printing costs for two nearly indistinguishable shades of blue. They did a nice job in designing a crown out of 6 simple geometrical shapes.

KLM

Approximate Vintage: 1994
Received From: Ben Burgess
Print or Image Color: Blue + well, Blue
Background / Bag Color: White
Identical to other 1994 bag EXCEPT this one has a straight edge at the top instead of a serrated one.

KLM Goes to the blue bag, instead of white. Straight top.

Whoa! KLM decided to put their name back on the bag. Because remember, it's all about product placement!

Serrated Top

Ever the marketing pioneer, KLM decided to put their name on the bottom instead of the front! Will the madness never end?

KLM

Approximate Vintage: 2002
Received From: Christian Annyas
Print or Image Color: White
Background / Bag Color: Blue
Christian notes a linguistic change in Dutch. The word Prullezakje has been changed to Prullenzakje. What is the point of that???

Dutch speaker Carl-Cyril Dreue to the rescue with the answer: Dutch changed it's official spelling in 2002, so there's your answer!

Anyway, if you look at the revamped bottom of the bag, you'll see the retro abstract guy throwing garbage out, originally popularized by a mid-70s Qantas bag.
