Leonardo da Vinci left behind countless drawings and sketches for myriad of devices. He dreamed up schematics for machinery, transportation, flight, and apparently… women’s handbags. In fact, he sketched a design of a purse in the Codex Atlanticus (one of many collections of his notes and drawings). Fashion company Ghrardini has translated that design into a beautiful leather purse.

“While the shape recalls the lectern in “The Annunciation,” painted by Leonardo in the workshop of Verrocchio, its patterns feature rotating spirals and floral motifs, scrolls and foliage in metamorphosis,” Vezzosi said.

Boasting a unique closing system, the bag was designed at the end of Leonardo’s first Milanese period, around 1497. At that time, the artist was painting the tapestries in the Last Supper and knots designs in the Sala delle Asse in the Castello Sforzesco.”

There have been plenty of solar bags and backpacks in the past, but looking like an eco-friendly Ninja Turtle was about the best you could hope for in terms of style.

The Diffus solar handbag is different. Designers from the Alexandra Institute and the Swiss embroidery specialists at Forster Rohne integrated 100 miniaturized monocrystalline silicon ‘sequins’ onto each bag in a way that transforms the solar panels into a stylish pattern. And, like the ugly bags before it, the Diffus can store energy for recharging portable devices.

No details on pricing or availability have been announced so far, but you know that the ugly bags are still going to be your best bet in terms of affordability.

The Syringe Wristlet Handbag is the perfect accessory for your friendly, neighborhood drug addict. There is no requirement that drugs or paraphernalia be kept in the bag, it holds money and makeup just as well. A great accessory for your nurse Halloween costume or completing your heroin chic look.

You never know when you might be called on for a measuring emergency. In those situations, a bag like this would definitely come in handy.

Although originally intended as an accessory for a doctor or nurse costume, a syringe handbag can be a useful product all year long. For example,  if you’re looking to get a cop’s attention or want to subject yourself to more drug tests at work, this type of bag would probably be a great place to start.

I think the sellers of this fish bag had it described perfectly as “for kids and child-minded adults”. As a daily handbag it is odd, to say the least. But if you could squeeze a bowling ball in there, it would be an awesome bag for that purpose. Just because.

Yeah, a handbag with a gigantic analog clock built-in will definitely turn a lot of heads. Some will be interested in the unique style, but most will probably be interested in checking the time. Either way, it is an attention grabber.
