In the world of wickedly cool wearables, anything is possible. Your favourite bag ordering your Uber for you? Well, it may not be so far-fetched after all. The best smart purses on the market hook up to your smartphone like there’s nothing to it. And really, when it comes down to it, there isn’t.
One of my favourite fashion tech features on purses right now are the phone charging ports! I’m a total freak when it comes to having a fully charged phone. Having my bag do it for me would be a complete blessing. (Also, then you don’t run the risk of being one of those people asking waitresses at fancy restaurants to plug in your phone behind the bar. Ugh.)
But how far will the smart purse go? What will it be able to do? As of right now, it’s not too clear. However, what we do know is that they’re sleek, chic and aren’t scary looking like some smart accessories can be. (And by scary I just mean not very stylish.)
From style-savvy clutches to tekkie totes, the best smart purses are so enviable you’ll want them all.
One of my favourite fashion brands embracing tech is Rebecca Minkoff. They have a line of smart bags called #AlwaysOn that are equipped with codes that can be scanned via your phone. This allows fashionistas to engage with their bags long after they purchase them! The codes can be used to track data from smart products to better customer experience, understand consumer emotions, and more.
“We were looking to appeal to the woman that is a truly tech-active millennial craving a new level of immediate satisfaction,” Rebecca Minkoff said in a statement about the bags.
Kate Spade is arguably the queen of accessories—tekkie or not. (They just released some super stylish smartwatches, too!) Their smart purses are a collaboration with Everpurse and are self-charging, minimalistic designs. Built-in chargers mean you can snap as many insta stories as you want and not worry about low-power mode!
If you want to make a big fashion tech statement, you have to check out LED bags from The Cat Clutch. You can customize your bag with many different designs—all controlled by your iPhone. It’s like having five different bags in one! And best of all? They also charge your phone! These bags are perfect for a glittering night on the town.
