# Heated Handbags The Ladybag Charges Your Devices and Keeps You Warm in Any Weather By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladybag1 References: [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ladybag-the-first-multifunctional-heated-handbag) Purses are already pretty useful for carrying around everything you could possibly need in any given situation, but the Ladybag is even more useful than the average purse. As well as being able to top up your devices with a charge on the go, the bag also serves as a handy heater to keep you warm all year round. The Ladybag features a [large heated pad on the side](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-shawl), so that the panel doesn't warm up the contents of the bag any. With this feature, it's easy to zip open the [handbag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peuty-infinity-bag) while you're sitting at a bus stop and shivering. If you don't have anything breakable inside your bag, it's also possible to unfold the pocket completely and sit on the purse's heating pad for extra warmth. But for daily use in the fall and winter, the heated handles will be extremely handy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Heated Handbags:** The integration of heating elements in handbags provides a convenient solution for staying warm in any weather. - **Charging Purses:** Purses equipped with charging capabilities offer a practical way to keep electronic devices powered on the go. - **Multi-functional Bags:** The rise of bags that serve multiple purposes, such as heating and charging, caters to consumers' desire for convenience and versatility. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can explore incorporating heating and charging features into different bag designs, catering to tech-savvy consumers. - **Electronics:** Electronics companies have the opportunity to collaborate with bag manufacturers to develop innovative charging solutions integrated into handbag designs. - **Outdoor Gear:** The outdoor gear industry can embrace heated handbags as a functional accessory for outdoor enthusiasts seeking warmth and practicality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warming Power Bank Keychains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wb-battery-powered-hand-warmer.md) - [Diminutive Desktop Hand Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-hand-warmers.md) - [Rechargeable Magnetic Hand Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-hand-warmers.md) - [Power Bank Cup Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-warmer.md) - [Adorable Pebble-Shaped Warmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellphone-hand-warmer.md) - [Versatile Heating Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-heating-blanket.md) - [Solar-Powered Heated Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosun-solar-seat.md) - [Technologically Enhanced Electronic Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electronic-handbags.md) - [On-Demand Heated Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uze-heated.md)
