Sun Trap solar illuminated handbag

Those crazy kids over at the gadget prolific Brunel University have produced another must have item to add to your collection of smart shoes and HUD swim goggles. Student Rosanna Kilfedder has a spiced up take on the solar purse minus the whole emphasis on charging your gadgets. Instead, the Sun Trap handbag focuses the energy of those friendly sun rays on lighting up the interior of your bag; helping you find your keys and crap a little more efficiently than dumping everything out on your doorstep. The Sun Trap can plug into the wall for those cloudy days or if you'd like to get enough juice in the battery to charge your phone on the run. Carry on, students of Brunel.

Um... if you need internal lighting to find THOSE keys in THAT bag....

your just too drive to drunk home!

Uh, why can't you just cut a small window in which a light can shine into a diffuser? Keep it simple, folks.

Pointless! First of all, if you can't see anything in your purse (speaking in theory) then your yes, probobly too drive to drunk home as wxrman stated, or you need to start putting your keys at the top of your purse.

I don't have a purse for obvious reasons but I do hear girls complain alot that they have spilled something in their purse. Which would mean this expensive purse would be worthless in a week or two?

Oh, great. The Contents of the Purse wasn't already a mysterious enough quantity to the male gender? Now they're also going to have an eerie pale glow when opened?
