Nik Bentel Studio has released two limited-edition handbags: the Speaker Bag and the Mixer Bag, each serving as functional sound devices. The Speaker Bag acts as a Bluetooth boombox while the Mixer Bag features a 4-channel audio mixer. Made from translucent acrylic and visible circuitry, these bags represent both fashion and play. Designed for post-party scenarios, they double as wearable DJ kits crafted in Bentel's NYC studio. The project showcases a blend of music culture with fashion, reflecting the studio's commitment to innovative design.
The Speaker Bag is a Bluetooth-enabled wearable boombox, while the Mixer Bag features a working 4-channel audio mixer. Both are crafted from translucent acrylic and assembled with exposed circuitry and hardware.
These bags are not just accessories, they're sculptural tools for play and performance. Inspired by NYC's DJ scene and portable music culture, they reimagine the bag as both a sonic device and a fashion statement.
Together, they offer a portable DJ kit designed to be worn, seen, and heard, with each unit handmade in Nik Bentel's New York studio.
Styled as futuristic gear for post-party survival, the bags evoke a kind of rave armor that blends music and utility, pushing the boundaries of product design, fashion, and spectacle.
