Large Yore is a duffle bag designed for travel and daily use. Tibetan tiger stripe and tooth motifs are reinterpreted from a functional perspective, with the stripes forming dividing lines between storage areas and the teeth shaping handles and attachment points. An external pocket with a strong magnetic closure allows quick access without opening the main compartment. A zipper tape and rivets on both sides adjust the silhouette and the capacity. The bag is made of vegetable tanned leather, which develops a gentle patina over time.

Rounded edging on all four sides offers a soft yet structured solution, ensuring a crisp silhouette even when carrying heavy loads.

The design team has innovatively translated cultural elements including tiger stripes and tiger teeth from a functional perspective. Tiger stripes are transformed into dividing lines for specific functional areas, and tiger teeth are reinterpreted as the ends of handles, achieving aesthetic harmony of function, form, and meaning.
