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.

If you don’t mind looking like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Solar Panel, these Soular Power backpacks might be just the thing you need to need to keep your gadgets charged on the go. There isn’t much in the way of details just yet, but it appears that the solar panel on the Capsoul backpack above can be removed and the bag itself can be re-configured into a shoulder bag or carrying case.
Neon Green, the company behind the bags, also offers a Piggy Back solar panel that is much smaller and can be attached to any standard backpack.
