Everpurse: Tech and Fashion Collide with Smartphone Charging Purses
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- Finally: a bag as powerful as you. The technology industry has joined forces with the fashion world to create an innovative product that solves a common problem but doesn’t sacrifice on style. The result is Everpurse, an accessory that charges your phone on the go. Never worry about low battery life again as each bag is equipped with a special pocket to house a variety of smartphones that allows it to charge throughout the day. Place Everpurse on its charging mat overnight and the following morning it will supply enough energy to charge a smartphone up to two times throughout the day.
Created by husband and wife duo, Liz and Dan Salcedo, Everpurse launched on Kickstarter, a creative project fundraising site, in the fall of 2012. The idea was born when Liz worked as a social worker, driving around to different meetings and constantly losing battery power in her phone before day end. Frustrated by the lack of functional solutions, Liz and her husband Dan, a technology entrepreneur, developed the idea and creation of Everpurse. After just one week on Kickstarter, Everpurse surpassed their fundraising goal of $100,000. Following its positive reception Everpurse is now gearing up to ship its first round of bags to customers in the months of Summer 2013.
“Everpurse is truly the first of its kind and to watch the product grow from a simple thought to a tangible item in women’s hands is amazing,” states Liz Salcedo, founder and CEO of Everpurse. “We are changing the way women work and travel, making daily activities more simple and stress-free. We are eager to continue developing the technology so both men and women alike can use the product in their everyday lives.”
Each bag is equipped with the Qi wireless charging ecosystem, also known as the Qi Wireless Power Consortium. Qi is the global standard for wireless power and cuts the last remaining cord in consumer electronics - the charging cord. With Qi, any Qi-enabled device can be charged by placing them on – or near – any Qi-enabled surface or charger, regardless of brand or manufacturer. Among the numerous technical benefits, Everpurse chose Qi because of its compatibility with their different leathers and fabrics.
Everpurse is available in multiple colors and styles including the fabric clutch ($189.00), leather clutch ($249.00), croc-pattern leather clutch ($319.00), as well as the option of adding the Everpurse technology to individual’s personal bags ($600.00).
