Edouard is an anti-theft system integrated discreetly into an aggressive bag. Once armed by a hidden switch, the system emits a high piercing sound and a pulsing luminescence. Which, in turn, alerts passers-by of an unauthorized opening. The Edouard then captures its violator with the closing of the cage structure. When in off-mode, the interior of the bag is illuminated upon opening, facilitating acces to its content.
