These pages have professed my love for the purposeful handbag on numerous occasions. So, when I came across a handbag manufacturer with a patent-pending technology allowing handbags to have an inbuilt lighting system, I was excited to find out more. The manufacturer is Glass Handbag and is the first in the world to create bags with integrated and unobtrusive lighting system, allowing easy visibility of contents inside. I can relate all too well with the purpose of having a light inside a handbag – oftentimes, bolstered by having a big bag to stuff, I have put in all kinds of items – even those that I may seldom need. When this carries on for a few days, searching for an item I really need, turns into a treasure hunt. I could rummage for minutes together in frustration, tilting the bag towards a light source, before I actually find the item. The situation could worsen at nights.
Hence, a bag with an internal light seems quite necessary and handy. The Glass Handbag’s design is such that the light turns on when the bag is opened and turns off when closed. The thin long light panel is placed right behind the inner lining. Check out this satchel in the much sought-after snake skin print in genuine leather.
And now check out the light when the bag is opened.
I thought this idea was really cool and solves a nagging little issue in the usage of bags. But maybe they could improve it further – by having small LEDs in each section of the bag rather than only the central one. Or replacing the 2 AAA batteries required by button cells, which could be easily hidden in the depths of the bag. Too ambitious? Sorry – just trying to think and take this wonder a step ahead. Glass Handbag has been around since 2010 and you can shop for these bags at their website. They retail upward of USD 200 for clutches and can go up to USD 1,000 for the bigger satchels. Rest assured – these bags can give you guaranteed attention in any gathering! What do you think of the concept?
