The Design

About Taste Connnection X Bolso multifuncional

Taste Connection X es un bolso multifuncional que puede utilizarse como mochila, bandolera o en forma de equipaje abierto. El bolso está confeccionado en PVC impermeable impreso con un estampado que combina los logotipos de las marcas más populares de bubble tea de Taiwán. Cada pieza se corta al azar de un rollo cubierto de franjas de colores, de modo que no hay dos bolsos con la misma composición cromática. La forma se obtiene mediante plegado, sin cortes adicionales, y una correa de algodón ajustable con una impresión personalizada define cada modo de uso. El diseño funciona además como recuerdo de las escenas callejeras de Taipéi.

Unique Properties: With brand motto of making bag as "portable urban impression from Taiwan", the pattern on the water proof PVC material has blended the most popular bubble tea brand logos from Taiwan.

Production Technology: We use waterproof PVC(high quality synthetic leather) as material which passed SGS exam.

The cotton strap is custom-made with our design print. With adjustable strap, the bag can be turn into different forms.
Design Challenge: In order to ensure no two bags have identical print composition but still stylish, we have to carefully choose the area to be shaped into 3-D form.
Research: Our core brand value is to discover all the high potential daily materials and turn them into valuable design goods. Starting from Taipei, for the long run, we plan to work with cities from all over the world whereby each city images and locally unique materials can be discerned and applied, therefore cultural economies can be cultivated.
Inspiration: The bubble tea drinks started from Taiwan and now have been well-received globally. Taipei street scene is largely made up of colorful signs and waterproof canopy. Combined with these two signature elements from Taiwanese daily surroundings, the design is not only a stylish bag but also a souvenir best presents where it comes from.
