This is the second release in our recycled vegan leather series. The sleek crescent-shaped design is compact yet spacious—it fits your sunglasses, wallet, phone, a small makeup pouch, and even a mini folding umbrella. The double magnetic closure lets the bag snap shut effortlessly. Inside, a large hidden zipper pocket can hold an iPhone Pro Max, making it easy to store your valuables securely.
Shoulder Strap – NUPELLE® Recycled Vegan Leather
The strap is made with eco-conscious vegan leather from the brand NUPELLE®:
The surface layer is created by upcycling PVB film from discarded car windshields—sustainable, easy to care for, waterproof, scratch- and abrasion-resistant, and with a hydrolysis resistance of over 10 years. Made with 100% animal-free, environmentally friendly materials, NUPELLE® is one of the few Taiwanese brands certified vegan by PETA and also holds the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification.
We designed the strap with a dual-layer structure—thick and wide for a soft and comfortable wearing experience. It stays securely on your shoulder, even when you're carrying heavier items or on the move. The slightly suede-textured surface prevents slipping whether you're walking or biking.
Pattern Inspiration
All of Jianjian’s fabric patterns are inspired by overlooked moments in the urban landscape of Taiwan—like the rhythmic lines of tin rooftops, the water-stained corners of old walls, or the stray dogs seen on riverside walks.
Pattern Story
I've spent many years around Dihua Street, and some vanished scenes still linger vividly in my memory.
Like the earliest food court on the fourth floor of Yongle Market—now only visible in the movie Lucy.
Even the reconstructed colonial-style buildings are slowly overtaken by new acrylic signage, while surrounding structures are continually torn down for redevelopment. Dihua Street may look like it's lined with traditional red bricks, but beneath it all is a world of concrete. What we consider "traditional" has already been quietly masked over—hidden by cement without leaving a trace.
The cross-shaped grid in the fabric design resembles both a map and the image of old homes removed during urban renewal—replaced by fast-rising steel skeletons. The view toward Guanyin Mountain is now increasingly obscured by these grid-like structures sprouting from the earth. The whole city feels like it's in a constant state of transformation.
Sometimes the checkerboard layout feels like a maze. No matter how many years I’ve spent in Yongle Market, I always feel a little lost inside.
When I take time to reflect on Dihua Street, it feels like we're all just temporary residents answering a help-wanted ad—or like apartments marked for demolition. Decades of memories vanish without a trace, as steel and concrete move in to begin the next chapter.
