About Us
Curators of Asian Independent Design
A friendship that began in our school years has evolved into a shared mission: to bring extraordinary Asian design to the global stage.
Tian and I first connected through our mutual appreciation for Eastern aesthetics and craftsmanship. Though our paths diverged geographically—with Tian pursuing her studies in America while I explored creative communities across Asia—we maintained our bond through a shared passion: discovering exceptional Asian designers and helping them share their voices with the world.
Our Role as Curators
We don't design bags—we discover them. Our purpose is to seek out remarkable independent studios across Asia and bring their unique visions to your wardrobe. Each bag in our collection tells a story of its creator's cultural background, design philosophy, and meticulous craftsmanship.
What Guides Our Selection
When we choose which studios to feature, we look for:
· Authentic perspectives that reflect contemporary Asian aesthetics
· Quality materials and attention to detail
· Innovative approaches to traditional techniques
· Stories worth sharing—each designer brings a unique narrative
Our Connection to Every Bag
While we're not the designers, we are deeply connected to every piece we offer. We travel extensively throughout Asia to build relationships with our partner studios, ensuring they align with our values of quality, originality, and cultural authenticity. We test every bag for durability and functionality, and most importantly, we believe in the stories behind them.
Why This Matters to Us
Growing up between Eastern and Western cultures, we recognized the need for a bridge—a way to connect global audiences with the incredible design talent emerging from Asia today. Our collection represents not just beautiful bags, but the diverse creative voices behind them.
We invite you to explore these unique designs with us—each one representing both the designer's vision and our commitment to bringing you only the most special pieces from Asia's independent fashion scene.
With gratitude,
Tian & Yichen
