Nik Bentel’s RC Car Handbag: a handbag that moves, literally
Nik Bentel Studio crafts the RC Car Handbag, a limited-edition leather handbag with remote-control functionality. Designed to send notes across a dinner table, or for just making a scene, it offers both a functional and experimental approach to accessory design. The studio aims to release a series of leather handbags in new signature silhouettes, experimenting with ways to bring whimsy back into the high fashion space.
The concept originated from the idea of a handbag that could move independently. The design process involved months of prototyping, testing RC car components, fine-tuning motor placements, and sourcing the perfect leather to wrap around the structure. The result is a fully functional, remote-controlled handbag that glides smoothly across the floor.

RC Car Handbag brings a playful approach to high fashion
Each piece is hand-assembled, combining traditional leather craftsmanship with remote-control motion technology. The final product is part luxury accessory, part high-speed statement piece—designed for those who appreciate fashion with a sense of humor. The designers at Nik Bentel Studio create a piece that is both a fashion statement and an exploration of movement in design, as well as a nod to childhood nostalgia, and proof that accessories should be just as fun as they are functional. The RC Car Handbag launches on February 26th, 2025, with only 300 pieces available.
