Louis Vuitton and Royole put two web browsers on a purse

Of all the companies that will adopt flexible displays in 2019, we did not think the Louis Vuitton fashion brand would be part of it. Yet that's exactly what he did with his new line of handbags including Royole's 1920 x 1440 flexible AMOLED display. Engadget reports that LV plans to produce two variants of Canvas of the Future handbags, one with a single screen and the other with two.

On the Cruise 2020 landing strip, the screens had to display a series of colorful urban visualizations, but in a video posted on Instagram, one of the bags could also be seen showing a pair of scrolling web browsers . Louis Vitton said the idea of ​​the handbag was to become an extension of the smartphone, suggesting that there are more features than you might think.

The handbags were produced using screens provided by Royole, whose FlexPai device is technically the world's first folding smartphone. If you have not heard of the FlexPai, we do not blame you; When Vlad Savov tried it at this year's CES, he said it was "horribly charming" thanks to its buggy user experience and relatively poor quality.

This is not the first time we have seen a company showcase a bag. Even Royole had his own prototype purse at this year's CES. However, Louis Vitton has the advantage of being able to sell his bags at a price that could actually cover the cost of a high-tech display.
