How to Make a Stylish E-Textiles BagLight
The BagLight is a moveable LED strip designed to help people find items in their bag easily. It uses a soft battery holder that makes the strip thin and compact.
The outside is made out of leatherette so it is in keeping with the aesthetics of bags, although any fabric could be used. The bag light has a strap that can be pinned or clipped on to the inside of a bag.
