Stay Charged on the Go with the Crossbody Power Purse

You’re heading out for the day and realize your cell phone battery needs to be charged. This dilemma used to have two solutions: Use your phone for the last remaining minutes or leave it at home to charge. With the Crossbody Power Purse, you no longer need to make this decision.

From Chic Buds, the Crossbody Power Purse is a purse and charger in one. Inside the purse is a lightweight, thin battery to charge smartphones and other USB devices. The built-in cord makes charging both your phone and the purse battery simple.

Here’s how it works: Plug your phone’s charging cable into the plug labeled OUT. To recharge the purse’s battery, plug the cord labeled IN into a USB port. To check how much charge is available, press the button on the top of the power unit and three small lights will indicate the percentage (one light signifies 0–33 percent, two lights 34–67 percent and three lights 68–100 percent). The slim battery design in the inside pocket leaves plenty of room in the purse for carrying all of your essentials.

A fully charged battery offers enough power for one full charge on most smartphones. With an adjustable crossbody strap, the phone charging cord is accessible from the exterior zipper pocket. Made of vegan leather, the Power Purse comes in a variety of colors including charcoal, navy, olive, red, cobalt, coral and black for $69.99.
