Pan Am Luggage - Get The "Pan Am Look"

Hello Pan Am Fans, and Welcome to my Pan Am Blog! panamfans.blogspot.com

With Season 1 drawn to a close, we are still re-living those glorious Pan Am moments, so I have decided to dedicate my first blog post to Pan Am Luggage.

The various Pan Am bags are seen everywhere throughout the series, on the Cabin Crew, Check-in agents, onboard the Clipper Majestic and in the flight deck, and the best thing is, these bags are all available in 'real life' and all at a cheaper price than the official Pan Am store are selling them for! 

Get The Pan Am Look!...

Women's Pan Am Luggage

There are many Pan Am bags to choose from in the women's category, with many available through cheaper sites such as Amazon and eBay - Where most are brand new and sold from online stores that specialise in vintage luggage. 

Pan Am Orion
The Pan Am Orion - The Bag That Started It All...

The Orion was the bag that started it all, and the original bag of the jet-set era. The Pan Am Orion was presented to first class passengers in the sixties. Orion's were carried throughout the series by all of the female Pan Am flight attendants, especially Maggie and Colette. 

The Orion is the only bag that is exclusively sold on the Pan Am Store website and unavailable anywhere else, at the price of £57.00 British Pounds,  which is $89 
US Dollars. - It's not bad for a bag that size,
 however there are plenty  more available 
Pan Am bags at a similar size for a 
cheaper price,
 So don't let this worry you! 



Pan Am Explorer
This classy bag is one of the most well known Pan Am bag around! Seen throughout the series, and is favourite of Karine Vanasse and Margot Robbie! Weekend getaway to Europe? 
With easy grab n' go 15" handles and available in 3 color options, you really can take this bag anywhere. Embossed with Pan Am logo in white, it's a very good size bag at a reasonable price. After researching several websites I found the Explorer at it's cheapest price on Amazon for £40.00 British Pounds. The bag is also accompanied by a stylish Pan Am passport cover, well known in the aviation industry and perfect for travelling. Available here on Amazon: http://amzn.to/AjCsyd


Pan Am Mini Explorer
A mini version of the Explorer, it's a cute, classy and comfortable bag to carry. Featured in the series and carried by Kate in the Croatia episode, it's a famous bag to carry!
With my research I found it cheapest at approximately £35.00 including postage from the United States. New with tags: A brand-new, unused, unworn and undamaged item in the original packaging, and comes in Blue, White and Black. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/x7GOuw


 Mens Pan Am Bags
There are equally as many Pan Am bags for men, and which some of them are unisex. Most are available from Amazon for a much cheaper price than the Pan Am stores, and some I am able to give you personal feedback as I already own! 
The Pan Am Defiance  (Unisex)
The Defiance is featured in the background throughout the series, in the cabin crew closet at the front of the Clipper Majestic and occasionally in the cockpit when the crew are offering tea and coffee. It's very similar to the Orion in the way that it is exclusively sold from Pan Am Stores and from anywhere else you will probably end up paying more. It's light weight, bright, comes in two colours and is unisex. It retails at £50.00 British Pounds from the Pan Am online store here: http://bit.ly/t5Eivb




Pan Am Globe Bag
One of my favourite Pan Am bags, as I received this as a present from one of my good friends, this bag is very good value for money. Its much larger than it looks in the picture, its a dark blue which makes it more of a men's bag, and is delivered from the UK within 3-5 working days, unless you pay for a speedier delivery, (Although the standard 3-5 working days, 90% of the time is with you on the 3rd day after placing your order, if not sooner). A stylish quality bag, with a unique design and and Pan Am retro brand logo enlarged. It retails at £39.95 from Amazon.co.uk here: http://amzn.to/xnTAMw
                                                                                         Pan Am Messenger Satchel
A small, compact, classy and stylish Pan Am bag, perfect for shopping, outings or as a small carry-on bag, Made from 100% Vinyl and Easy to clean, durable and hard wearing, it's good value for money at the good price. It's available from eBay, and "Buy It Now" including postage is £13.98 British Pounds. New with tags and available in various colours. http://bit.ly/A5Onxg
