The Design

About Taste Connnection X Multifunctionele Tas

Taste Connection X is een multifunctionele tas die gebruikt kan worden als rugzak, schoudertas of in een open bagagevorm. De tas is gemaakt van waterdicht PVC bedrukt met een patroon dat de logo's van populaire bubbelthee-merken uit Taiwan combineert. Elk exemplaar wordt willekeurig gesneden uit een rol bedekt met kleurrijke strepen, zodat geen twee tassen dezelfde kleurcompositie delen. De vorm wordt gecreëerd door te vouwen, zonder extra sneden, en een verstelbaar katoenen bandje met een op maat gemaakte print bepaalt elke modus. Het ontwerp fungeert ook als souvenir van de straatbeelden van Taipei.

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.
