A purse that can charge up your phone
(Credit: Solarjo)Regardless of what you think of its design, this is no ordinary handbag. The "Power Purse's" name refers not just to its importance as a fashion accessory but also to its functionality--as a portable source of solar energy.
The bag is covered with small solar panels that can power cell phones or any other gadgets through a USB port built into its interior. MobileWhack says the ingenius purse was designed by a student at Iowa State University and marketed through Solarjo, "a company that produces unlikely items from something that looks quite ordinary."
The price is expected to around $300, which isn't all that bad--it is, after all, a designer bag. But there's still no guarantee that you'll be able to find anything in it, with or without a solar light inside.
