BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a handbag system with an interchangeable lining and removably couplable top flap. More particularly, the invention relates to a device useful in enhancing the versatility and function of the handbag-user experience.

2. Description of the Related Art

In markets today, there are very limited products offered for handbags that combine utility, style, and versatility. Users often have multiple handbags to match with certain outfit and suit the demands of an occasion. Buying many bags can be cost prohibitive and moving one's items from one bag to another can be very time consuming and people are more prone to forgetting important items when moving belongings from one bag to the next. In addition, with the rise of fast fashion landfills are filled with personal belongings that users only use once and want to change.

In addition, very few handbags on the market offer a variety of compartments for the user to be able to store beverages safely while traveling with electronics or other devices and personal belongings.

Other products offered for mutable handbags are not user friendly and stylish. Oftentimes, changing the interior or exterior of the handbag can involve many steps and different parts.

Currently, there are no useful alternatives that effectively provide a handbag system with an interchangeable lining which is also a complete system with various compartments that is stylish and simple to use. In addition, no alternatives on the market offer the capability of having a handbag adapted to be switched to tote or handbag at any time. As will be disclosed below, the present disclosure addresses these needs and covers a bag system that meets consumers' needs of style, form, function, and ease-of-use to prevent these inconveniences and solve these issues.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one aspect, the present invention is embodied as a handbag system with an interchangeable lining and method of using the bag. The bag system includes a main compartment, a removably couplable flap at the top, an interchangeable lining with multiple compartments, handles that are also interchangeable, a removable and interchangeable strap, and complementary retention elements. The retention elements can be in the form of zippers, magnets and/or hook and loop, to secure the interchangeable lining and removable top, and clasp-ring pairs to attach the removable strap to the main compartment and improve bag security.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the main compartment can be used as an open, tote bag. The main compartment itself is comprised of a front wall, a back wall opposing said front wall, a first and second side walls opposing each other, a bottom attached to all said walls, and two handles attached to the first and the second side walls. A first set of male zipper halves is located along both the first and second side walls of the main compartment lengthwise. A second male-zipper half is positioned below, closer to the base, and parallel to the first pair of zippers; it goes along the inner circumference of the main compartment. The main compartment also possesses a clasp located on the interior face of the back wall.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the main compartment can be used in combination with the removable flap. The removable flap is comprised of two sub-flaps that couple to the first set of male zipper halves, located on first and second side walls of the main compartment, by complementary female zipper halves on their outer sides. The flaps attach to each other by a zipper pair located on the inner sides of the flaps.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the clasp located on the interior face of the main compartment's back wall can be hooked into the pull tab of the zipper set that attaches the flaps of the removable top. Attaching the aforementioned clasp to the zipper pull tab enhances the security of the top flap and main compartment embodiment (mentioned in 009).

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the main compartment can be used in combination with the interchangeable lining. The interchangeable lining couples to the main compartment's second-male zipper half via a complementary female-zipper half located along the top edge of the lining.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a removable strap can be attached to the main compartment. The strap possesses two spring-loaded clasps, one on each end, that fasten to two metal rings located on the outer faces of the main compartment's front and back walls.

In alternative embodiments, the main compartment can be used in various combinations and configurations with the top flaps, lining, strap, or back-wall clasp.

In alternative embodiments, the removable lining can include one or more cupholders secure enough to hold one or more drinks on each of the opposite sides of the inside of the liners, in addition to a sleeve to secure electronics adjacent to the one or more beverage pockets

In accordance with one form of this disclosure, there is provided a method for interchanging a top removable flap to change a handbag system from a bag to a tote and vice versa. The method also allows a user, in addition to changing a bag from a tote to a handbag, to also remove a complete interior liner and move it from one bag to the next.
