Lighting Bag
More than a simple bag: a portable object that carries, protects and becomes a warm source of light.
Concept
Lighting Bag transforms an everyday textile object into a portable light source, combining function, atmosphere and sustainable material research.
Story
The project is connected to the history of Manteco, a textile company rooted in Prato and known for regenerated wool, circular processes and material transformation.
Lighting Bag starts from a simple question: what if a bag could do more than carry objects? The answer is a soft, resistant and daily-use accessory that becomes useful when the sun goes down.
By opening the central zip, a line of small LEDs diffuses a warm light, designed for outdoor moments, evening walks, picnics and informal gatherings.
MWool.
A regenerated wool material with softness, breathability, elasticity and thermal regulation.

A warm strip of small LEDs turns the bag into a portable source of atmosphere.
USB power.
A rechargeable USB battery connected to solar panels supports use outdoors.
Material logic
MWool keeps the natural qualities of virgin wool: it is soft, breathable, elastic, resistant to wrinkles, odours, stains, fire and UV rays.
Nylon, zip components and LED strips complete the structure, creating a hybrid object between accessory, lighting device and soft product system.
Final renders
Final visualizations show the bag as a textile object, a lighting system and a portable companion for outdoor moments.
