Israeli student designer, Gilli Kuchik came up with this ladies’ concept hand bag which can unfold and convert into a trolley. A compact design for the urban shopaholic! It is also environmentally friendly as it reduces the need for plastic bags. Its wheels are neatly integrated into the handbag.
If it is made from a suitably lightweight material, the Urban Troll will appeal to those who need hand bag expansion at will! Although the designer was clearly targeting women, with some minor modifications and changes in colour, the bag-to-trolley design could also be useful for travelers.
