He invents the Chilibili, an innovative wheeled shopping bag that is easy to carry on a bike
We all remember the famous shopping bag on wheels of our grandmothers. Some still use them mainly in town, but it must be recognized that they have the reputation of being a bit old-fashioned, even if they are ultimately very practical when you are a pedestrian and do not have a car. . A man could well bring back the grandmother’s wheeled shopping bag with a practical, foldable and ecological model. Alain Albert reinvents the trolley which allows it to be easily transported in a car, but also to separate food from each other. Discovery of this ingenious invention called the Chilibili.
The Chilibili, a funny name for a shopping bag!
Alan Albert therefore proposes an invention that intends to restore the image of the shopping bag on wheels. His has three separate compartments in which food can be sorted. Foldable and easily transportable, it can also be put on a bike. And if it’s green, it’s because Chilibili is made with recovered PVC tarpaulins. The invention that comes to us from Montpellier could be a great success at a time when recycling and virtuous modes of transport are topical. With its new generation shopping bag, the youngest could also let themselves be convinced by this accessory that has fallen into disuse.
How did this idea come to him?
Alain Albert confided in an interview with the newspaper 20 minutes that the idea came to him while he was shopping with his shopping bag in search of fruits and vegetables for compotes and purées for his children. And he realized that it was not really practical: food crashed into each other, and that it was sometimes necessary to empty the shopping bag to put the heavy products at the bottom and the lighter ones on top. And you really have to “dive” inside to get to the bottom. As for storing it full in the trunk of a car, it is better to have a bulky trunk! He said to himself that there was a “thing” to do, imagined his float and founded the company Silibiz to launch his shopping bag 2.0.
What are the advantages of this bag?
The inventor from Montpellier, since 2007 to be exact, has been tinkering with his shopping bag for years. 13 years later, he produced his first prototype and a launch is planned on Ulule from October 5th. The shopping bag will be sold for around 200€ and the inventor expects a lot to innovate again. He speaks of this campaign as a first crash test! Obviously, the Chilibili is practical and very easy to transport. It can accommodate several independent compartments that allow food to be sorted without having to empty it. The compartments can therefore unhook, stow in the trunk of a car or even hang on the luggage rack of a bicycle. The wooden frame, meanwhile, can be pinched and has ingenious straps that allow it to be carried on the back, by bike! Finally, and this is of paramount importance, the Chilibili is eco-friendly since it only uses PVC tarpaulins that present advertising campaigns or events. He cleans them and pre-cuts them before sending them to be cut in a professional integration workshop. And since the covers are all cut differently, each Chilibili is unique! We wish him the best because frankly it was necessary to think about it, and in addition, he really is super pretty, isn’t he? We love the idea! More information : silibiliz.com.
