FROM HANDBAGS TO HORSEPOWER- FLUID COLOR CHANGES ARE CREEPING INTO OUR DAILY LIVES.

WE GOT ANOTHER REMINDER RECENTLY AT PARIS FASHION WEEK. 

BLENDING FASHION AND TECHNOLOGY – 

E-INK, A PIONEER IN e-PAPER TECHNOLOGY, HAS PARTNERED WITH BELGIAN LUXURY LEATHER GOODS MAKER DELVAUX TO CREATE A COLLECTION OF COLOR-CHANGING HANDBAGS. 

THE COLLECTION FEATURES FOUR UNIQUE DESIGNS THAT USE E-INK’S E-PAPER FILM.

THE TECHNOLOGY IS FULLY PROGRAMMABLE, REFLECTIVE AND BOASTS LOW POWER CONSUMPTION. E INK IS DEEPLY COMMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE COMPANY IS ACTIVELY WORKING TO REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS THROUGHOUT ITS PRODUCT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES. THEY EVEN PLEDGED TO USE 100-PERCENT RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2030 AND AIM TO REACH NET ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS BY 2040.

THESE BAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A LIMITED EDITION OF JUST 100 UNITS, LAUNCHING IN 2025, ALTHOUGH THE PRICING HASN’T BEEN REVEALED JUST YET. 

DELVAUX’S CEO DESCRIBED THE PROJECT AS A UNION OF ‘EXTREME TRADITION WITH EXTREME INNOVATION.’

WHILE THE BAGS REPRESENT A FIRST EVER USE OF E-INK’S TECHNOLOGY IN LUXURY FASHION,

THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME E-INK HAS VENTURED INTO THE WORLD OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS. 

THE COMPANY COLLABORATED WITH BMW TO PRODUCE THE WORLD’S FIRST ‘COLOR-CHANGING CAR.’
