About Song Boorso Baaldi ah

Song waa boorso baaldi ah oo laga dhaxlay dhiirrigelin ka timid shimbirta duulaya ee bariga (swallow kite) iyo qaab-dhismeedkeeda fudud ee laga sameeyay bamboo. Qaab-dhismeed taageero ah oo qaabkiisu yahay xaraf O ah oo ku yaal labada dhinac ee dhinacyada ayaa isticmaala maqaar jilicsan oo adkeysi leh si uu u hayo muuqaal cad oo aan lahayn gogol adag, halka dhinaca dambe uu ahaado mid jilicsan marka la taabto. Boorsada waxaa laga sameeyay maqaar vegan ah oo laga soo saaray balaastiig badda laga soo ururiyay oo dib loo warshadeeyay iyo qashin kale, iyadoo dushiisu leedahay muuqaal jiifsan (tumbled). Nidaam quful isdhaafsan oo leh laba-biir oo isku dhega ah iyo suumin magnet ah ayaa suurtogeliya kaydin ammaan ah iyo gelitaan degdeg ah. Suun la kala furi karo iyo boorso gudaha ah oo la saari karo ayaa u oggolaanaya in gacanta lagu qaato ama laabta laga sudho.

Production Technology
The bag employs vegan leather made from recycled ocean plastic and other waste materials, providing a delicate texture, excellent elasticity, and lasting durability while promoting a circular economy. Treated with a tumbling process, it boasts a well textured surface, enhancing visual layering and offering a gentle touch.
Design Challenge
The core innovation is a lightweight structure that offers a soft yet structured solution. The bag utilizes an O shaped support structure on both sides. The structure adopts supple, resilient leather to mimic the U shaped stress distribution observed in bent bamboo strips, enabling the bag to maintain a crisp silhouette even when carrying heavy loads, with no rigid linings required. It is strategically placed along side panels and handles, ensuring areas like the back remain soft to the touch.
Research
Traditional bags often struggle to balance softness with crispness: too soft and they are prone to deformation, too rigid and comfort is compromised. In response, this product innovatively draws inspiration from the swallow kite, using supple leather to create a structure that provides moderate support while ensuring softness and a minimalist aesthetic. Combined with a cross lock system and an adjustable strap, it fully meets the demand of modern users for both aesthetic appeal and practicality.
Inspiration
Inspired by the Eastern swallow kite, this bag translates the kite making logic, where lightweight bamboo strips are scientifically arranged to lend soft paper both stability and tension, into an O shaped support structure on both sides, reinterpreting the functionality and aesthetic appeal of traditional craftsmanship in a modern manner.
Project Duration
The product was first designed in June 2018 and launched in early 2019. It underwent an iterative redesign in Beijing in June 2025, and the new 3.0 version will be officially launched in Beijing in March 2026.
Operation Flow
The bag introduces a dual security cross lock system: a horizontal mortise and tenon double bar snap supports one handed locking or unlocking, while a vertical magnetic buckle allows one second opening or closing. This ensures secure storage and convenient access.
With a detachable, adjustable strap and a removable inner pouch, the bag delivers multiple carrying options like handheld or crossbody and allows compact storage, easily adapting to daily commuting, casual outings, and business travel.
