This RC purse redefines fast fashion with a top speed of 9 mph

Looking for an accessory that can keep up with your busy lifestyle? Nik Bentel Studio has created a leather purse with a remote control car built into its base. The battery-powered RC Car Bag is four wheel drive, and while its rubber tires can handle minor obstacles like discarded napkins and crumbs while zipping across a dining table, its tiny wheels mean it’s unfortunately not going to be much of an off-roader. Its creators claim the bag has a top speed of nine miles per hour, and it includes a stack of tiny orange pylons if you want to set up an obstacle course and test your driving skills after dinner while you wait for your server to bring the check. The included pistol grip style controller has a range of about 30 feet, and while’s there room inside the purse to store the remote, it doesn’t look like it leaves space for much else. That could make the RC Car Bag’s $295 price tag a tough sell, but fashion doesn’t always have to be practical, does it?

The bag is also only available in black, but other color options, including something close to Ferrari’s iconic Rosso Corsa red, would potentially help broaden the appeal of the accessory to racing fans. Although Nik Bentel Studio might not be the most recognizable name in fashion, it’s created a collection of fun tech-inspired accessories including slim wallets that look like real-life versions of Windows and macOS’ folder icons.
