My online shopping habits during the coronavirus lockdown took a startling turn for the worse. Perhaps it was the general malaise and listlessness that came alongside spending much of the waking day indoors, save that precious hour's outdoor exercise, but I found myself buying all manner of unlikely products off the internet, often in the wee hours when sleep evaded me. As any seasoned online shopper will tell you, the early hours of the morning - or indeed the middle of the night - is certainly not the best time to be parting with your money and as such I now have several items of clothing that can best be described as regrettable. <img class="size-full wp-image-12607658" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/08/99a5ae39-watermelonbag.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="900" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Tsuchiya Kaban]] Yet even I, among all my novelty purchases, would not have anticipated coming across something quite so niche as this: a luxury leather bag that exists purely to carry watermelons in. Yes, Japanese luxury leather handbag maker <a href="https://tsuchiya-kaban.jp/blogs/library/20200731">Tsuchiya Kaban</a> has used luxury Italian leather to create a bag designed specifically to carry watermelons in. You can watch a video that shows the incredible creation process of the bag right here: [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXTGrVAv8tE&feature=emb_title]] The product comes as part of the designer's "the fun of carrying" campaign and so will unfortunately not be made available for purchase - bad news for all you watermelon-carrying enthusiasts out there. According to <a href="https://www.scoopwhoop.com/humor/luxury-bag-for-watermelons/">Scoop Whoop</a>, the bag even features a snap button, meaning it can be adjusted to the size of the watermelon in question. <img class="size-large wp-image-12607659" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/08/5b78d79a-watermelonbag1-1024x504.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="504" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Tsuchiya Kaban]] A description of the bag on Tsuchiya Kaban's website that has been translated to English reads: <blockquote>"Delicious watermelon in the summer season with a blue sky. If you could carry a round and heavy watermelon easily and with peace of mind... With that in mind, the craftsman Kadoi made a bag to carry watermelons."</blockquote> According to <a href="https://www.designboom.com/design/tsuchiya-kaban-watermelon-bag-08-10-2020/">Design Boom</a>, Tsuchiya Kaban has been creating bags and accessories since 1965.
