Bag making stop shop owner

Tote bag 'scold' owners who use credit cards.

Three student Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Scotland, created a tote bag that will 'scold' owner when he will be using a credit card.



Inside the bag, mounted a set of electronic tools, and a gap to put the credit card.

"When the credit card is taken, the signal will be sent to the electronic device that we called Arduino, which will trigger the sound sensor that has been recorded, to work," said Leanne Fischler, one of the designers of this bag.

As a result, the sound will come out of the bag, "Put back the credit card!" Or "Do not try to shopping!"

"Still just a concept"

This bag was originally made to dissuade people to shop, with the words: "It looks like you do not need it", and "Oh, not again lah".

Bag serves to make the owner "embarrassed" when shopping. BBC

Then, the third student thesis project is led into a bag that could "embarrass its owner in public", with the assumption that the credit card will actually be used.

Rebecca Smith, who participate in designing these bags mentioned, if your credit card is returned to its place, 'the voice on the bag' will say, "I know, you must listen to me".

Nevertheless, the bag they call "is still just a concept" and will not be sold commercially.

"We are very excited to make designs that can create change and encourage the emergence of discussion," he said.

"We want people to see and interact with these bags." (bbc)
