The next Ugg boot?

I happened on this bag in a garden tools catalog and the longer I looked at it the more I wondered how it would work as an airline carry-on.

It's not sleek, but rather clunky looking; it's not expensive; it looks quite functional and well-made; and would seem ideal for all the odds and ends you take with you on board a plane these days.

Only one way to find out, what?

One more thing — unlike your carry-on, this one's washable.

From the website:

Garden Tote Bag

This garden tote bag is perfect for carrying all those small tools, seed packets, gloves, and other items that are often needed with every trip to the garden.

Made of a tough, weatherproof material and nylon mesh that create a lightweight, strong, water-resistant and washable product.

It has 12 exterior pockets and a large interior.

The two end pockets and the top of the bag are held closed with Velcro fasteners, providing secure travel for smaller, easily lost items.

An elasticized cord runs across the top of four side pockets, giving support to longer tools.

Measures 10"W x 13"L x 9"H.

Ideal for preventing numerous trips back to the house for forgotten items.

Also good for camera gear, art supplies, etc.

Makes a nice gift.
