Véronique HuygueA French designer may have solved the problem of overweight luggage at the airport.
Created by designer Selma Durand, the "Weighing handle" can determine if a bag is too heavy to check (via Designboom).
The handle contains a spring, which stretches a few millimeters when lifted and reads the weight of the suitcase.
The handle, while not currently for sale, can "adapt to any suitcase" if a luggage company wanted to incorporate it in its products, according to Durand's website.
Durand designed the travel accessory for her master's project at ENSCI-Les Ateliers this March.
With airlines charging $100 and up for overweight bags now, the handle will undoubtedly come in handy.
