About Taste Connnection X 다기능 백

테이스트 커넥션 X(Taste Connection X)는 백팩, 메신저백, 펼친 러기지 형태로 활용할 수 있는 다기능 백이다. 대만의 인기 버블티 브랜드 로고를 조합한 패턴을 프린트한 방수 PVC 소재로 제작되었다. 각 제품은 다채로운 스트라이프로 덮인 원단 롤에서 무작위로 재단되어, 동일한 색 구성을 가진 백이 하나도 없다. 형태는 추가 절단 없이 접는 방식으로 완성되며, 맞춤 프린트가 적용된 조절식 코튼 스트랩이 각 사용 모드를 결정한다. 이 디자인은 타이베이 거리 풍경을 담은 기념품으로서의 역할도 한다.

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.
