Stelle audio

For anyone wanting a little bling with their wireless Bluetooth speakers, Stelle has the device. The company has encased wireless Bluetooth speakers in purses in an attempt to bring fashion to the category. However, the end result is not exactly stylish, unless someone’s definition of high fashion is an oversized shiny metallic or leather clutch with stainless steel studs.

These speakers are intended for in-home use but come packaged in suede cylindrical tote bags for carrying ease.
