This is not your ordinary hand bag.  Although it may look like it’s not packing anything, I can guarantee you that this patended bag is packing smart technology that will make your mom say “I want one for Mother’s Day!”.  This post inspired by this blog post and this one too.

Let me serve you more info straitght from the manufacturer’s site:

Marilyn Light Bag LLC is proud of its patented light bags (Patent # USA 6502951 ). Our bags are available in 11 different colors, with Gucci™ and other brand-name lookalikes, and are made of genuine leather. Each bag comes with an authenticity certificate. Our handbags are competitively priced starting at $150 and up, and if you keep your bag for 10 years, you will get a $1,000 rebate check (this only applies to the first-edition bags with a leather sun face).

Furthermore, all bags come with a GPS tracking device, so they can be found anywhere if lost or stolen. The first 2 months of monitoring is free, and then it’s just $15 a month. All handbags have internal Agar™ lights and a sensor switch—if you touch the top of the switch, the light will be activated and it has a 22-second timeout.  This unit is only for people, lost and found or locating purses and luggage if stolen or lost. The device can also has an override feature that will find the unit or person even if off, (only with pre authorization from owner). It has a continual beacon that is on a low frequency band that picks up the signal if on or off as long as battery is in-tact. We provide a lifetime warranty on the Agar light system as well as a 30-day warranty on the bag itself. The lights have to be mailed in if they need repair, and there is a shipping cost of $5 if they need to be fixed.
