Gem of the Week: Barf Bags

airsick_gem.jpg

It's only Wednesday, but it's probably going to go downhill from here on because we've already found our precious, little gem this week: air-sickness bags! There we were, casually browsing Design Observer and finding their link to a page devoted to bags devoted to barf. Unbeige loves air travel--logos, menus, seat design/layout--don't let us tell you how much time we spend on AirlineMeals. Imagine the drooling we did (we could have used a bag ourselves!) after finding this site, SickSack and the Vomitorium (seriously now), all fascinating sites that contain hundreds of different air-sickness bags from all over the world.

How nice of Travel + Leisure Family (or Travel + Leisure, we're not sure which one) to compile 4 of our favorites into an image:

We liked: TWA, Air India, Finnaviation and ZIP

We also found Design for Chunks, a competition "to see how other designers would illustrate the usually plain in-flight sickbag." While the designs here are pretty, Unbeige preferred the old-school designs found on the other sites and wondered if the contest organizers were even familiar with some of the gorgeous bags we found.

You want samples? We've got samples! Read on...



Greenland, population: zero designers


Separated at birth


Best Tagline Ever on an Air-Sick Bag


Prettier than your girlfriend


The Armani of air-sickness bags


We don't know what that is, but it sure is nice


Obviously Scandanavian


An image of flying through hills and mountains probably isn't the best image to have on a sickbag


The Sic-Sac, which looks just like a small, white Hefty bag, is actually stored in this envelope


We don't like the combination of fonts, but hey, at least it's interesting


Poor Grandma!
