Two illuminated purses sewn from black faux leather, one tote bag and one crossbody bag, rest on a sofa. Both bags have front panels containing pixelated grids formed of translucent triangles that each light up in changing colors to form patterns. Each purse displays the same pattern at the same time.

   I made a (well-coordinated) LED tote and crossbody bag using the technique of 3D printing translucent tiles onto tulle and inserting them through corresponding holes in the bags' front panels. I sewed long zippers in the lining of both bags to make it easy to access the interior, and attached a flexible LED string behind the tiles with hot glue. A #Pixelblaze controller inside each bag makes it easy to run synchronized patterns. I'll be writing up a "how to" guide on them for @makemagazine.
