The João Sabino keybag

You're going to have a bit of explaining to do the next time you beat away a mugger with this handbag and end up getting an escape key stuck in his eye, but that's the kind of price you have to pay for high fashion. Both a black and white version of the keybag were created by João Sabino, an industrial designer over in Portugal. We think the keyboard layout is just perfect for putting down some IM slang, but sadly the keybag is neither functional nor for sale.

Finally a solution to the age old problem of:

Where did I put my keys?

I'm not really getting the market... this bag is geeky... but most geeks are males... no sane male would wear a purse...

HAHAHAHA good one #1 :)

I agree with #2... I can't imagine more than .00001% of women in the market actually considering purchasing this bag.

I saw this last year at the Grammys. You know who was carrying it? Alicia Keys.

How many keys can this bag hold?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 2:32AM]

I would carry it. :0)

"...but sadly the keybag is neither functional nor for sale."

It is, however, ugly as sin.

We seel about 5.000 bags until now in 2 weeks. everything else is speculation.

This bag is VERY CUTE! Plenty of women will carry this. I would use it for work. As soon as it is available I will be buying one :)

It's a shame! There are more geek girls out there than some of you might think (#2 and #4), enough to make this bag a HIT on the market, thats for sure!
Too bad for you guess you're not that fortunate to know the geekie, trendy women that inhabit this world!
