An Indian fashion design student in UK has designed an LED emoji-inspired handbag which, she hopes will get people talking. Emoji are ideograms and smileys used in electronic messages and web pages.

Madhura Kulkarni, an student of the Birmingham City University's School of Fashion and Textiles said that, she wanted to "create something original and unimagined".

Kulkarni, who hails from Nashik, India, said that, "The concept behind the bag is to initiate a verbal conversation between two people with the help of LED emojis that you can choose to display on the bag."  "For example, if two people are showing the same emoji on their bag, it might start a conversation between them."

"In the 21st century where people are extremely tech savvy, some people are so engrossed in social media that they rarely talk to others verbally. I feel that my concept could revolutionise the world," she said.

Recently, Kulkarni was recently named as a finalist in the 2016 New York Independent Handbag Designer Awards, which proves her designs has already caught international attention.
