Exemplary embodiments include a mechanism that provides a systemized way to attach straps to bags that provides for versatility in attachment of straps for both positioning on the bag and for modifying the length of the straps. These straps may be used as both handles and shoulder straps for the bag through different attachment configurations allowing for the bag to be worn (and used as) as one or more different types of bags (e.g., a purse, handbag, satchel, hobo bag, shoulder bag, crossbody bag, laptop bag, messenger bag, and/or tote bag) and a backpack.

In one form, a security handbag is provided that includes an interior security panel assembly with a matrix of wires secured between a pair of material layers. The interior security panel assembly can be positioned intermediate the bag outside wall and a lining of the bag. A strap with security cable and a carabiner attachment device can be attached to the handbag. Methods for forming such security panel assemblies are also provided.

A travel accessory in the form of a travel bag, has at least two fabric pockets, two connecting strips, and a shoulder strap. The fabric pockets are connected to each other via the connecting strips. The travel bag is designed to be secured to a suitcase, specifically a carry-on sized suitcase. . When a suitcase is standing on its wheels, the travel bag is laid over the suitcase, such that one pocket is on either side of the suitcase, and the connecting strips are over the top. The connecting strips are sized to reach from one side of the suitcase to the other. When the travel bag is not being secured to a suitcase, it can be caried like a purse by using the shoulder strap.

A zipper includes a tape body including two zipper tapes each having an inner edge with a row of teeth. A stop includes a first end connected to distal ends of the rows of teeth and receives two first conductive plates. An end of one of the two first conductive plates is electrically connected to an electrode of at least one light-emitting element. A power connecting portion is electrically connected to another of the two first conductive plates and another electrode of the at least one light-emitting element. A slider is slidably disposed on the rows of teeth for engaging or disengaging the rows of teeth. The slider includes a second conductive plate configured to simultaneously contact with the two first conductive plates, causing electrical conduction to activate the at least one light-emitting element to emit light. A container with the zipper is also provided.
