New York-based designer Nik Bentel has unveiled a leather handbag that also doubles as a remote-control car, proving that creativity really knows no bounds.

Dubbed the RC Car Bag, it’s a fun and playful take on the conventional handbag.

“Perfect for sending notes across a dinner table, or just for making a scene.”

The RC Car Bag is a playful fusion of style and childhood nostalgia, designed to turn heads and spark conversations. I mean, if you saw this barrelling towards you on the street, you’d want to know what the hell it is, too, right?

At first glance, it’s a rather sleek looking leather handbag. And for the most part, it functions as one too.

But instead of just dangling on your arm all day, the RC Car Bag can zoom across a room at a brisk 14.5km/h. This takes “fast fashion” to a very literal degree. Whether you’re sending notes across a dinner table or making a grand entrance, the RC Car Handbag ensures you’re the centre of attention.

It comes equipped with four-wheel drive and drift-style control, ensuring you won’t be crashing into anything—unless you want to.

Judging from videos posted by Nik Bentel Studio on Instagram, however, we wouldn’t recommend playing with the RC Car Bag on uneven surfaces, unless you’re extra careful.

The overall design of the RC Car Bag pretty much aligns perfectly with Bentel’s signature style, which often revolves around accessories that blend art, utility, and a dash of whimsy. Bentel reimagines mundane objects as luxury items, inviting us to see the world through a lens of playful sophistication.

The RC Car Bag is a great example of that. It’s a delightful escape from the ordinary, reminding us that fashion can be both fun and functional.
