Wireless charging, solar panel, lighting, security or geolocation ... many features can now be added to clothing and fashion accessories. Among these, charging a phone remains the most popular amongst users, more and more nomadic and connected. That’s the functionnality of the Lacoste Infinity-T line, a fanny pack and a backpack that the French ready-to-wear brand has equipped with a solar battery, to juice up one's phone, by simple contact.

Infini-T is the result of Lacoste collaboration with the fashion tech design studio De Rigueur, specialized in the integration of electronic components into the collections of fashion, luxury and sports brands.
