One Of The Other Vendors At The Green Shag Market GAVE Me This American Airlines Eames First Class Amenity Tote! What I Need Now Is...Some Sort Of Use For It! Status: Too Cool.
Yeah, how cool were American Airlines that they employed the Eames' to design this little tote for their First Class stuff pouch?! Not that I'd ever get a chance to fly first class but I'd probably do a spit take and bore my flight neighbors to tears talking their ears off about the Eames, if I was to be presented with one of these!
McDuff the Fluff approves. He just HAD to be up there and in the photos. Actually I think he's
just wondering why I'm taking pictures of some red thing and not a cute kitter cats. Then I guess
he thought he'd help me out by getting up in the frame. Thanks cat. You're a great help.
Have you ever seen one of these? Did you even know such a thing existed? Real Eames stuff can be
so expensive but you can probably score one of these - complete with all the amenities! - for about 10
or 15 bucks off eBay. Yeah, I was surprised too! I was hoping they were like a hundred bucks or
something but nope, kind of a bargain. Still, not as much of a bargain as mine!

I picked up a new in package black one at a local thrift store recently! My husband loves it and uses it when he travels.
ReplyDeleteHi Ashly.
DeleteI've been racking my brain trying to figure out a good use for this. Back in the day I woulda used it to carry my Minidisc recorder and a pile of discs. I used to bootleg a ton of local and some national live music acts here in the StL.
All's I have to say is that I just came back from flying first class on American both directions to Hawaii and all's a got was a free pair of cheap earphones!
