Made from the finest premium leather and materials, the VanDerWaals bags brag a unique design inspired by the need for self-expression. The creators behind the small collection, used patented technologies to develop the app-enabled handbag that can change color with just the swipe of a finger. This everyday accessory is all about the power of colour and its ability to allow you to change the color of your VanDerWaals to match your look, mood or environment.
Programmable through a free app, the VanDerWaals tech handbag will allow you to not only select your favorite color but it will also make colour recommendations based on your birth date. With many wonderful smart bags already on the market like the Leoht bag, what makes this particular one any different? Well we loved how this innovative handbag can be programmed to flash a selected color should I receive a phone call, a perfect perk to have when you are on the go.
Available in two styles with varying patterns, other features include the ability to charge your smartphone, tablet or other portable device via an invisible long-lasting internal battery that can fully charge an iPhone 6 up to three times. The internal battery power will need to be replenished using the provided wall charger.
