Ultimate Evening Bag
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
I’m an electronics geek and like to tinker. In particular, I enjoy working with LEDs and had just finished up two Kickstarter LED art projects. One day my wife Erin, looked at one of the LED panels I had been using and asked if I could make her a light-up bag. So I made one for her, but it was never meant to be anything other than a one off build. We took it out to a local bar and person after person came up to her asking about the bag. Then we took it out again and the same thing kept on happening over and over. After about the fifth time taking the bag out, we realized we were on to something and decided to take the plunge and turn it into a product. That was a year ago and we just shipped out the first batch of 100 CAT Clutches in November 2016.
