About Taste Connnection X Multifunctional Bag
Taste Connection X is a multifunctional bag that can be used as a backpack, a messenger bag or an open luggage form. The bag is made of waterproof PVC printed with a pattern that blends popular bubble tea brand logos from Taiwan. Each piece is cut at random from a roll covered with colorful stripes, so no two bags share the same color composition. The shape is created by folding, without additional cuts, and an adjustable cotton strap with a custom print defines each mode. The design also works as a souvenir of Taipei street scenes.
