In various embodiments, a carry (or carrying) bag is provided that includes an interior, substantially cut-resistant security panel assembly with a matrix of wires secured between or on one or more flexible material layers. Also in various embodiments, the security panel assembly may be positioned intermediate the bag outside wall and a lining of the bag, and in other embodiments, may also take the form of an expansion panel. Second or secondary locking fasteners are also provided to lock first or primary fasteners to or within the carrying bag, to provide security for compartments and pockets. A strap with one or more security cables, and various locking fasteners, may be attached to the carry bag. Methods for forming such security panel assemblies, expansion panels, and carrying straps are also disclosed.

A main purse with connector and nesting purse, as well as related systems and methods is provided. The nesting purse is smaller than the main purse and is nestable therein. The nesting purse may be fixed inside the main purse by nesting purse attachments, such as to prevent separation of the primary purse and the nesting purse. The main purse may be selectably enlarged by the flipping up of a top portion. An overlay closure flap may have multiple magnetic closures so that the overlay closure flap can close over the top portion in both flipped up and flipped down configurations.

Examples associated with device haptic feedback are described. One example bag includes a power source integrated into the bag. The power source may provide power to an electronic device. The bag includes a device monitor module to monitor a state of the electronic device. A haptic feedback generator provides a haptic signal to a holder of the bag. The signal may be provided in response to a signal from the device monitor module regarding the state of the electronic device.

A handbag includes first and second side panels. The first side panel includes oppositely disposed first and second outer sidewalls. A first zipper arrangement of a first profile is coupled to the first outer sidewall. A second zipper arrangement of the first profile is coupled to the second outer sidewall. The second side panel includes oppositely disposed first and second outer sidewalls. A first zipper arrangement of a second profile coupled to the first outer sidewall of the second side panel member. A second zipper arrangement of the second profile coupled to the second outer sidewall of the second side panel member. The zipper arrangements of the first profile can engage with each of the zipper arrangements of the second profile. A compartment is formed by one of the outer sidewalls of the first and second side panels.

A carrying system includes a carrying device such as a bag, an attachment assembly such as one or more straps connected with the bag, and an item having a receiving element configured to receive a portion of a strap to thereby secure the item with the carrying device. In some examples the bag includes various attachment regions that provide locations on the interior and exterior of the bag for attaching multiple items. The bag further includes multiple interchangeable straps to provide the user with both functional and appearance choices in using the bag.

Disclosed is a bag or purse for containing valuables. The bag or purse includes a rigid endoskeleton, an exterior covering disposed over the rigid endoskeleton, a lock assembly coupled to the endoskeleton, a biometric sensor and a microcontroller. The lock assembly prevents access to the interior space when the lock assembly is in a locked state. The lock assembly includes a handle and an actuator. The actuator is arranged within the lock assembly to selectively allow the lock assembly to unlock from a locked state. The microcontroller is programmed to determine whether an input provided to the biometric sensor corresponds with an authorized user and, if affirmative, activate the actuator to allow the lock assembly to achieve the unlocked state, and if negative, to not allow the lock assembly to achieve the unlocked state. A quick release cross body shoulder strap and GPS tracking feature can also be provided.
