With the volatile stock market news continuing to keep investors on edge, members of the sophisticated set are putting their money in handbags.
Literally. Along with their lipstick, handkerchiefs and cell phones.
Fashionistas have been investing in high-dollar bags for years. But New York-based designer Diana Broussard is taking “the look” to a new level.
Her handbags play classical music by composer David Lang.
And they feature LCD screens that can be customized with videos to suit the wearers.
Other wearable technology is more practical.
Ralph Lauren designed a “smart” shirt that customizes a workout for men based on information embedded sensors provide on their vital signs. Really.
Smart watches and smart glasses are fonts of information, and other handbags are designed to charge smartphones.
But a handbag that provides soothing music might be just the ticket to calm investors until the stock market settles down.
And as a bonus, the designer handbag can hold the money they are hesitating to invest until that happens.
