I saw it on the Uniqlo website and thought that it looked useful, bought two (black and pink) while in transit at Changi Airport (Uniqlo has a shop in Terminal 3, for those of you who may pass through), and will never use anything else while travelling. It's the most amazingly practical thing, one of those things that prompt the thought that I have been an absolute idiot for years not to use something like this. Except that this is of course the apotheosis of its genre.
It looks entirely unassuming, comes in a variety of useful colours, is strong, padded and wipes clean. It is also very cheap for its quality. You can carry all your essentials in it, thus keeping them safely to hand on the plane while asleep or going to the loo, or while gazing intently into the camera at passport control so that it can scan your face or irises or both. Mine held my wallet, passport, two mobile phones, a portable wifi router, hand sanitiser, wet-wipes, hand-cream, facial moisturiser, lip-balm, sunblock, a pen and one of those amazing Japanese shopping bags that fold down to nothing and can themselves open up to carry anything you need to start a new life on the other side of the world. It is basically a small, hand-held Tardis. In a fortnight in Australia, I didn't need to carry anything else while walking around except an umbrella (essential against the Australian sun, even in Hobart and Melbourne).
