Concept Gadget Could be the Best Gift for Women
A potential boon for stylish women everywhere.
It doesn't take much to understand a common feminine struggle: digging into a handbag for your keys becomes next to impossible at night, especially if said bag doubles as a carryall. The Bulbo harness however promises to light the dark, and banish the problem of locating items within a handbag forever.
The harness is pretty simple, structure-wise. It's essentially a long strip of silicone with ball and string attached to the bulbous end. The flat part, which features a row of bright LED lights, lines the side and bottom of the handbag, while the thick end and ball hang on the outside.
As the owner sashays down the street or hall, the ball swings back and forth generating kinetic energy the harness stores in its internal battery. To illuminate the inside of the handbag, the user simply pushes the on-off button off the thick end, facilitating item retrieval.
The Bulbo harness does have its limitations though. On bags full of old receipts, keepsakes and other womanly paraphernalia, the lights may not shine through. Lighting up the bag may also create unnecessary attention, especially when activated in very dark areas.
Yet the simplicity of the concept is quite endearing, especially for women who spend time daily clawing through their handbag's contents. Let's hope the creation of Italian designer Nicole Osella enjoys a push towards a market debut.

sure toms... for your 'purse'...
Any woman worth her salt can find those keys blind folded with one hand tied behind her back while chewing gum and walking backwards...
I was expecting more from the title...
That's a nice looking Dildo... *ahem* I mean Bulbo.
Nice look ball, it even comes with a cord...looks like it can serve more uses
This triples as a dildo...
less light, more vibration.
Just wanted to say thanks for putting "Concept" in the headline! Much appreciated.
So there is a heavy weight on the outside for generating energy; and for beating your kid on the side of the head if he ever dares to walk too close to you.
Not that I pay attention to such things, but purses have been available with interior lights for some time now. They are activated by the magnetic clasp; when it is pulled open the light goes on, when the clasp catches it goes off. A small battery can power the LED for hundreds of hours, eliminating the need for a complicated power generation source.
Swinging ball for kinetic energy? All these concepts have **** like that. It's a perfectly good idea - but the fact is if it ever made it to market, they'd just stick in some batteries.

Yet simple driving maneuvers elude them.
Mmmm stereotypes.
Bulbo Baggins?
This will work great for my new Men's European Carry-all!
having this article is almost as bad as those make-up advertisements that have been here for a few weeks. This site is dominated by men i don't understand why a makeup company would want to advertise here
That's a kind of vibrator or what?
Bulbo Baggins?
Vulvo Vaggins
The end is nigh.. repent for you sins Toms, repent now or spent the rest of eternity posting this kind of bullcrap!

I think my comment was "over the top" enough to hint at sarcasm. But to your point... I don't go into my wife's purse and she insists that I drive most of the time.

Agreed, just came here to post the same thing. Thank you for listening and putting 'Concept' in the title.
The poor Italian designer Nicole Osella would be looking for an internship in a studio in Amsterdam that takes as an industrial designer, please help her! she does not stink, not dirty and is very gratefuland she can also make delicious cookies.
who find her an internship, will receive the prototype of Bulbo that is also perfect for use as a dildo.
thank you
