There is a moment in fashion when an idea feels less like a trend and more like a quiet shift. Not loud, not gimmicky, but genuinely new. Peuty’s color changing handbags sit squarely in that space. They are not trying to shock. They are proposing a new way of thinking about what a handbag can be in a world where style, tech, and personal expression are increasingly intertwined.
Founded in France by Richard Peuty, Peuty is presenting an idea of the future of handbags with the ‘Infinity’ bag. It is described as the first handbag capable of changing colors and patterns directly from your phone. The ‘Infinity’ handbag is a smart bag crafted from premium full grain leather, elevated by an integrated OLED screen that allows the surface of the bag to transform on demand.
What makes Infinity compelling is not just the technology, but how discreetly it is embedded into something that still feels luxurious. The leather remains the hero. The proportions are clean. The tech does not scream for attention. Instead, it offers optionality. Through the Infinity app, users can select from a library of curated patterns, textures, and artworks, or upload their own visuals. A neutral morning bag can shift into something graphic by evening, or into something deeply personal with a single tap.
This is where Peuty’s thinking becomes interesting. Rather than positioning the bag as a screen, the brand frames it as an illusion of material. The visuals are designed to mimic textures and finishes, from leather-like depth to fabric-inspired surfaces. The goal is not to replace craftsmanship, but to extend it digitally. It feels less like wearing technology and more like wearing mood.
There is also an emotional layer built into the experience. Infinity allows users to capture a moment, a detail, a landscape, and display it instantly. The bag becomes a moving memory, a personal gallery that evolves with you. In a time when handbags are often static status symbols, Peuty is offering something more fluid and intimate.
Art plays a key role in the concept. Infinity users will have access to a selection of works created by contemporary artists and designers, effectively taking art out of galleries and placing it into daily life. It is a clever reframing. Why leave your favorite artwork hanging on walls when you can carry it around with you.
From a practical standpoint, the bag supports wireless charging, with battery life lasting several days depending on usage. It will launch in three core shades, white, black, and beige, giving the technology a neutral canvas to build on. The Kickstarter campaign is set to go live during CES 2026, positioning Infinity at the intersection of fashion innovation and consumer tech rather than traditional luxury retail.
In a market saturated with handbags competing on logos, hardware, and archival references, Peuty’s ‘Infinity’ handbags introduces a different value proposition. They reflect individuality, adaptability, and emotional connection. It acknowledges that personal style today is not fixed. It changes by the hour, by the moment, by how you feel.
In the world of fashion, experimentation and innovation is part of the cultural rhythm, Peuty’s color changing handbags feel particularly relevant. They reflect a future where accessories are no longer passive objects, but active participants in self-expression.
