United Solar’s sustainable Solar Fidelity M Azzurro bag has taken out the Product Design title in the fashion, lifestyle, and accessories division at this year’s Red Dot Awards. The firm beat out some 4,500 competitors in the Product Design category for the honor.
The Solar Fidelity M Azzurro handbag was honored for its innovative concept, high quality design, and superior craftsmanship. The messenger style accessory features UNI-SOLAR cells which capture the sun’s energy and direct them to the internal charging unit. This allows customers to charge their smart phone, tablet, MP3 player, or other portable devices on the go.
United Solar’s project manager Ed Sosnowski said his company was “very proud” to take out the Red Dot award. It will see the messenger featured in this year’s Red Dot year book, and displayed in the Red Dot Museum. It will also be sold bearing the Red Dot symbol.
The Solar Fidelity M Azzurro handbag and United Solar’s other solar powered products are available online through the Solar Fidelity website. As the company is based in Austria, English speakers may feel a bit of a language barrier navigating around the site, but its intuitive design should help you secure this sustainable accessory before too long!
