If ever I will be “required” to get a pet, the only thing that I can probably realistically take care of is a fish. Even then, I will probably just get a couple that could fit in a fishbowl since maintaining a full aquarium takes a lot of effort.

But for us who lived through the age of trying to fit in our files on those portable storage devices, they bring a sense of nostalgia and how fun (or not fun) it was to carefully carry those things around and hope that our 1.44MB files were not corrupted.

The moon is associated with light so of course it’s a common source of inspiration for products connected to illumination. We’ve seen light fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and other related products that have moon-related designs. Leather however is not normally used as material for light-related items.
