When you’re out to dinner with a friend or a loved one or a potential partner, there can be some several awkward moments. There’s that moment when you don’t know if someone will foot the bill or if you all go dutch. There are times when you’re bored and you’re waiting for your meal to finish. There’s also that usual awkwardness of the first date. Sometimes, you want to pull something out of your bag just to fill in that lull or weird moment. But what if your bag is the thing that can actually break the ice?

Designer: Nik Bentel Studio

The RC Car Bag is one such bag that will surely be a conversation stopper or starter especially once the RC part comes out. As its name says, it’s a remote controlled car that also acts as a bag. Well, if you can still fit anything into it as it’s pretty tiny. Known for pushing the boundaries of design, Nik Bentel has crafted a piece that transcends the traditional role of a handbag. It’s not just an accessory; it’s a kinetic, interactive experience. A bag that can roll across the table or any flat surface may just be one of their weirdest but also most interesting. We normally don’t think of bags as kinetic accessories but this one is definitely designed to be that kind of fun item.

Basically, the RC Car Bag is a genuine leather handbag that comes with four wheels that are not just for design but can actually move since they are motorized. They can even handle small obstructions like crumbs or even discarded napkins. It can move drift style up to 9MPH across flat surfaces with its silver reams with rubberized tread. It’s perfect for sending notes to another person, or if several of you are carrying the bag, having a mini car race just for fun.

It comes with a pistol grip style controller that can work from up to about 30 feet away. Just be careful when pulling it out of the bag as some might mistake it for an actual pistol. The RC will take up a lot of space in your bag though so you’ll have just a little space for a small trinket or two. Even though it’s made from genuine leather, the price tag might be too much if you can’t even put anything in it and you’ll have to carry an extra “normal” bag for your actual things.
