Eco Factor: Solar hand bag uses FLAP technology to charge your cell phone.
Ugly looking pair of flat solar panels isn’t even the last thing you would want to grace your trendy handbag. After all why would anyone trade their fashion choice for something which despite being green completely erodes their style? People at Elle magazine knew just that and therefore they hired a team of famous designers including Diane Von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Rogan, Loomstate, Vena Cava, Ero and Maria Cornejo, Lutz and Patmos, and Joseph Muteti to team up with Sheila Kennedy, an architect in Boston to fashion some chic solar bags.
Well designed and elegant the bags use a technology called Flexible Light and Power pack (FLAP) with a USB port, LED lights, rechargeable battery, and a flexible solar panel built right into your bag. When built into a bag, the FLAP pack can be used to charge your cell phone or used as a reading light. The bags are currently on auction at eBay.
