Girl Power! The Solarjo solar handbag is here

solarjopowerpurse_01.jpgWe've raved about solar powered backpacks and briefcases before, but this new handbag from Solarjo gives solar accessories the feminine touch. We blogged about it when it came out as a prototype, but now you can have one all to yourself.

Gone are the days of cramming a charger into your already over-full clutch; with this neat, compact and above all stylish handbag, all your essential electricals will be charged up via an in-built USB port as you stroll in the sun. The panels also give it that futuristic, metallic touch that's so 'in' at the moment. [Via Gizmodo]

The bag was designed by Joe Hynek, a student in fashion and technology at Iowa State University. It retails for around $300 (around £150). I wonder which celeb will be seen with one first?
