LadyBag That Tells You If You Got Everything

The bag uses RFID technology to ensure that when you leave the house you didn`t forgot items like your wallet, keys or cell phone. The group of students behind this concept, at Simon Fraser University, Canada, also instated the LadyBag with a set of exterior LEDs, that can light up to form smiley faces or the form of the objects that are missing from the purse.
To let the bag know what item you want to be tracked, it needs a RFID tag insert or attach to it. RFID tags are very common today, you can find them on almost all items from shops. If you forget to pay for something they trigger an alarm when you attempt to leave the shop. At LadyBag, it triggers the LEDs instead, and uses different signals to select different items.
Actually, the wallet on Magellan’s website is made by DIFRwear and they DO use tinfoil in the lining. I bought one and it sucked. I could hear the tinfoil crackle every time I opened the wallet. I cut it open with an exacto knife and was shocked to see true to life tinfoil in the lining.
I’m still weary of RFID in my credit cards and passports. I use MasterCard’s PayPass card and it’s great but for an added level of protection I bought an RFID Blockr shielded wallet from:

I also bought a passport case from them as well…top quality.
