While we see many variations of bags with technology features this specific smart bag was created in cooperation with Eddie Čustović and HANA Sirco. Main features of the smart are: RFID signal jamming- protection of credit cards from data theft. LED lights inside the bag when opening the bag has a sensor that is activated to automatically turns the lights on inside the bag and a power bank- possibility to charge mobile phones, tablets and similar devices.

When you think of a smart bag once would think a bulky case you are carrying and instead something that is visibly appealing to the eye. Just like any ordinary bag you see , the smart bag is with hidden technology features that you would find within.

The smart bag is the evolution of where bags are headed right now. To now be able to go out in town and know that you can charge your phone, know that your card are protected and at night you can easily access your bag. Bag technology is something we all are part of here and right now. It is making traveling easier, a night out safer, and making everything you need easy. The thought about what you need with you daily, a bag to hold your items, your phone charger, and a light when things get dark.

The style of bags continue to evolutionize and are created custom to be able to use all the time. As time goes on in the future people will realize what technology features you can integrate. Having the basics of credit card protection and a charging port is already a way having a fashionable bag is changing. As time goes there will be more styles and more variations on technology within hidden pockets. Just like technology and fashion in general it is always changing and always finding new ways to improve and get better.
