HANDY BAG
Impractical? Not a bit. This is still a
fully functioning handbag: its rear
features a compartment for
all your valuables that’s
handwrapped in Balenciaga’s
Italian lambskin leather.

O LU F S E N S PE A K E R BAG
Luring fashionistas into buying gadgets usually involves downplaying their high-tech functionality
by disguising them as time-honoured accessories. This collaboration between Bang & Olufsen
and fashion house Balenciaga goes in a very different direction. The Speaker Bag actively brags
about its tech credentials and wears its speaker grille with pride. Despite being shaped like one of
Balenciaga’s classic handbags, it’s milled from a single piece of aluminium, then pearl-based,
anodized and hand-polished, and has holes perfectly drilled to ensure it provides balanced sound.
Inside it contains a portable driver offering multipoint connectivity and a battery providing up to
18 hours playback, while subtle controls underneath the handle enable you to control your tunes
without changing your grip. Want one? Be quick: they’re producing just 20 so they’ll sell out fast.
