From handbags to horsepower, fluid color changes are creeping into our daily lives. Another reminder came recently at Paris Fashion Week. E Ink, a pioneer in ePaper technology, partnered with Belgian luxury leather goods maker Delvaux to create a collection of color-changing handbags. The collection features four unique designs that use E Ink’s ePaper film.
The technology is fully programmable, reflective and boasts low power consumption. E Ink said the company is deeply committed to environmental responsibility, and it’s actively working to reduce carbon emissions throughout its product design and manufacturing processes. E Ink even pledged to use 100% renewable energy by 2030, and aims to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040.

These bags will be available in a limited edition of just 100 units. The bags will launch in 2025, although pricing hasn’t been revealed just yet.
Delvaux’s CEO Jean-Marc Loubier said the project is a union of “extreme tradition with extreme innovation.”
While the bags represent the first ever use of E Ink’s technology in luxury fashion, it isn’t the first time the company has ventured into the world of consumer products. The company collaborated with BMW to produce the world’s first color-changing car.
