Personally , I find my iPhone’s battery the worst disaster of the 21st century. It is very handy to be in touch , have all important e-mails and messages delivered at any time but when it comes to ring for a taxi to get home after a night out the battery suddenly decides to die. Ana Slavka , an Australian fashion entrepreneur probably had the same opinion when she created The Mighty Purse : a leather clutch with a built-in charger that makes suffering from a dead-battery a thing of the past. ‘Like most people , I was in a situation where…
