Prediction: Unlikely to succeed
Purses are a tough sell on DRTV. I think that's because the bar is extra high: In order to get a woman to sacrifice fashion, the function of the purse has to be super-compelling. Allstar hit that bar with the Buxton Bag in 2008, but no other company has been able to hit it since.
As for this item, I don't see how taking a purse and adding a phone charger -- something that has been tried many times on DRTV without real success -- will even come close to hitting the bar. The high price won't help matters, either.
