The Design

About Taste Connnection X Bolsa Multifuncional

Taste Connection X é uma bolsa multifuncional que pode ser usada como mochila, bolsa transversal ou em formato de bagagem aberta. A bolsa é feita de PVC impermeável impresso com um padrão que mescla logotipos de marcas populares de bubble tea de Taiwan. Cada peça é cortada aleatoriamente de um rolo coberto por listras coloridas, de modo que nenhuma bolsa compartilha a mesma composição cromática. A forma é criada por dobras, sem cortes adicionais, e uma alça de algodão ajustável com estampa exclusiva define cada modo de uso. O design também funciona como uma lembrança das cenas de rua de Taipé.

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.

Each bag is made of fabric randomly cut from the roll filled up with colorful stripes, not a single bag would have identical color way to others. With no additional cut, the design is giving the shape by folding into different forms, whereby each respective function is well defined.

Tags: backpack, messenger bag, waterproof bag, travel bag, color fashion
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.
