A baggage storage and retention system includes a first vehicle seat receiving a first passenger in a vehicle. A second vehicle seat of the vehicle receives a second passenger. Each vehicle seat has a seatbelt assembly generating a seatbelt locked signal when one of the first or second passengers seated in the vehicle seat closes the seatbelt assembly defining a seatbelt closed condition. A vehicle storage compartment has multiple strap and/or lock assemblies. A first strap assembly generates a first strap locked signal when a first baggage item of the first passenger is placed in the vehicle storage compartment, engaged with the first baggage item and closed defining a strap assembly closed condition. A passenger and baggage identification system receives the seatbelt locked signal and the first strap locked signal and links the first passenger to the first seat and the first baggage item to the first passenger.

A handbag includes interior pockets or audible compartments that, when touched, provide an audible identification of contents, enabling objects to be easily retrieved despite the number of objects stored in the handbag and in a dark environment. The audible content identification may additionally be combined with a variety of additional smart or convenience features, such as audible reminders of items on a checklist input through a smartphone interface or memo pad or suggestions for hairstyles based on a weather report.

An identification system includes an identification device and a communication device. The identification device is attached to an article and including a sensor. The identification device is configured to operate in a plurality of modes and configured to switch between modes of the plurality of modes based on one or more conditions of a surrounding environment sensed by the sensor. The identification device is configured to send data to a server. The communication device of a user of the identification system is configured to receive data including location data of the identification device from the server using short message service protocols or messages through a signaling channel.

Some implementations of this disclosure provide an electronically customizable article comprising a fashion article selected from the group consisting of a handbag, a shoe, glasses, a tie, and a bowtie wherein the fashion article comprises an electronic visual display, a processor, a communication interface for communication between the fashion article and a network, and a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the fashion article to connect to a server over the network, receive data from the server, and display one or more images associated with the data on the electronic visual display.

In an item of luggage includes at least six side walls. The side walls each have at least one outer surface and one inner surface, the outer and the inner surface are substantially parallel to each other. At at least one of the side walls, at least one elevation is provided on the associated outer surface, which elevation includes at least one exit surface that at least partially is not parallel to the outer surface of the respective side wall, and at least the side wall which includes the at least one elevation is made from a plastic material that contains a fluorescent dye and is light-conducting and light-transmissive such that light is adapted to be introduced into the respective side wall and transmitted and exit at the respective at least one exit surface. A conversion of invisible UV light into visible light takes place in the respective side wall.
