Swarovski and Philips teamed up to create the dazzling Active Crystal collection that included the much talked about noise-isolating crystal headphones and heart-shaped USB memory pendants. It looks like this year the two companies are working on another fashion piece they're calling Favourite, which remains a concept design for now.

Favourite is an urban style bag that features Philips' Lumalive textiles which have tiny arrays of LED lights integrated into the fabric (you can see a video of the fabric in action here). The front of the leather bag features a large piece of crystal mesh able to hold a flexible Lumalive background that can be used to display personalized luminous messages or patterns that are programmed by the user.

If this design gets as much attention as the Active Crystal collection did when it was barely a concept, then we just might see the fashion market flooded with blinking crystal bags in the future. It's still not clear just how big this bag really is, but it looks like it just might fit a laptop.
