Marie-Jacqueline, a French fashion designer, and LumiGram (http://www.lumigram.com/), have teamed up to create a very unique collection of handbags, made of fine leather and a specially developed fiber optic fabric.
When powered on by an embedded electronic module, the fiber optic fabric emits a colored light along the full length of the fiber, producing a stunning luminous effect.
Based on this new technology, our "LumiBag" collection of evening handbags is the most dazzling you'll ever see; you can check by yourself on: http://www.lumigram.com/
"This collection of evening bags perfectly demonstrates the amazing possibilities in term of design brought by this new technology, which allows us to give a magical dimension to our creations", says Marie-Jacqueline. "The beautiful luminescence of the fiber optic fabric brings a unique depth and personality to our bags".
"LumiBags are really two bags in one", adds Marie-Jacqueline: "in broad daylight, you'll have an elegant, handmade, classic handbag. At night, you will turn the fiber fabric light on, and your bag will change color and beautifully shine...".
A small switch inside the bags allows turning the fabric light on/off.
"LumiBags" are available for online ordering at: http://www.lumigram.com/, and at selected retailers worldwide.
