How many times has your phone/blackberry been deemed completely useless as you run out of battery at the most inconvenient moment possible? Well, how useful would it be if your handbag doubled up as a charger?! It's a moment of pure practical chic genis.

C'N'C Costume National designer Ennio Capasa has designed this bag with fine strips of mini solar panels on the front. He told WWD [1], "I put a challenge into the project: to make Italian luxury contemporary. I imagined a pop, chic bag and I am satisfied with the result."

What do you think of the actual handbag? Too geek chic?
