About Xiao Jing Valisa

Xiao Jing es una valisa a carcassa rigida inspirada per las correjas de cuèr qu'èran utilizadas autres còps per assegurar los bagatges pendent los viatges. La carcassa davantièra pòrta una forma de grasilha en relèu que rapèla las correjas crosadas, amb un motiu en crotz a cada interseccion que sembla a un fial de cordura. La grasilha renfòrça tanben la carcassa contra la pression. Una carcassa a tres jaces provesís de resisténcia e de tenguda a l'usura, e la susfàcia es acabada amb un tractament de brossatge electronic. De coissinets liscants mantenon un movement doç e silenciós. L'interior es devesit en espacis separats pels vestits, los produits de tualeta, los documents e los aparelhs electronics.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: In my childhood , people used to pack up their luggage with leather straps when they traveled, which was a good way to prevent the luggage from breaking up during the trip. This element is applied to the suitcase: the front shape of "#", like straps used to pack up luggage, and the "X" pattern at the intersection is like sewing thread. These unique elements enable this suitcase to be quickly identified among other products during the trip.
Dimensions & Packaging: 15inch，20inch，24inch

Production Technology: The super-sliding bearings not only make it very smooth when moving, but also reduce the noise well. The 3-layers shell has good strength and wear resistance; the surface of the box adopts electronic scrub technology, which has good visual effect and wear resistance; TSA lock is convenient for users and customs officers to use.
Design Challenge: Fashion and retro are often not easy to exist on a product at the same time. We extract the element from previous soft cloth parcels and apply it to hard-shell suitcases, and make it stylish and retro.
Research: As a department of Alibaba, big data provides great help for us to gain accurate insight into the needs of consumers. We can explore the issues that consumers are most concerned about in each dimension: style, color, size, materials, accessories, price and so on. Focus on these problems can satisfy consumers the most.
Inspiration: Sometimes plastic suitcase is squeezed when using. In order to solve this problem, people often use some structures to strengthen it, but usually these functional structures lack beauty. We were inspired by the way people packed before the advent of hard shell suitcases,. The "#" shape structure causes people to recall the past life, which not only satisfies the beauty, but also improves the strength of the box.
Project Duration: It started in December 2017 and finished in May 2018. Now it becomes a series with different colors,sizes,details.
Operation Flow: The internal structure of the box has been adjusted according to the feedback of a large number of users, and a reasonable layout can improve the efficiency of the use of space. Clothes, toiletries, document passports, electronic products, etc., can be stored in separate space according to frequency and habit, and you can easily find what you need soon.
