Pili Bundle Bags

The concept behind the "Pili包袱皮" series draws from the nostalgia of childhood. Do you recall the anticipation and excitement when your grandmother arrived from afar with a cloth bundle? These bundles often contained candies and handmade trinkets, bringing joy to the hearts of children. "Pili包袱皮" also has roots in ancient China's daily life: it served as a means for merchants to carry goods through the bustling
streets, for wanderers to pack their belongings as they roamed, and for travelers to transport their essentials.

The fusion of cherished memories and environmental concerns gave rise to the "Pili包袱皮." Throughout history, the word "包 pack”in the Chinese context has been both a noun and a verb. It represents a bag and symbolizes a process. The "Pili包袱皮" series seeks to uphold and continue Eastern culture, refining its
patterns and packaging for modern life and everyday use, rejuvenating this unique concept of Easter aesthetics in contemporary surroundings.

“Pili包袱皮”系列的概念:“儿时,当外婆从远方来访,带着这样一个布包袱,我们是不是充满了紧张和期待呢?包袱打开后往往是糖果、手工制作的缤纷小玩意,一帮孩童欢呼雀跃。”包袱皮也是中国古代的日常用品:商贩走街串巷承装货物,侠客行走江湖包裹家当,旅人游山玩水携带衣物。美好的忆忆和环保议题,促成了包袱皮的诞生。
自古以来,"包",在中国的语境中,既是名词亦是动词。它代表了一个袋子,也象征着一个过程。"Pili包袱皮" 列的概念旨在传承和延续东方文化,其图案和包装方式经过改进,更适合现代生活和日常使用。使这种独特东方美学概念在现代环境中焕发新生。
