Technology will illuminate the darkest recesses of handbags

The international leather and bag specialist BREE has brought light into the "black hole" by creating the first illuminated business handbag with Smart Surface Technology. A prototype of this world first was presented to the public at the international "Summer Styles" leatherwear trade fair held in Offenbach in September 2003.

With Smart Surface Technology it is now possible to produce luminescent surfaces in any shape you like. What's more, the luminescent film developed by Bayer Polymers and Lumitec lights up on both sides. So when used as a compartment divider inside a handbag, it can bathe two compartments in a pleasant light simultaneously.
