Paradise: A Small Playground You Can Carry

Paradise: A Small Playground You Can Carry

The strap swings side to side,
shaking every worry off.
A little playground packed in the pouch —
wherever I wander, I play.
Happiness, open all day.

Every Paradise bag starts with the same shape: soft leather that slumps a little, gathered under a flap or a zip, hanging from a strap that is free to move.

That poem is the whole brief. The Chinese name for the series, 乐园, means paradise in the playground sense: a place you go to play, not to behave. So the bags are named like rides.

Pick your ride

The Mini Roll Bag curls its top over itself, with a 13 cm handle for the hand and a strap that clips on for the shoulder.

The Pleat Shoulder Bag is the big one: 38.5 cm across, with a wide flap folded over soft pleats and closed with a silver buckle. Its strap drops from 32 to 59 cm and comes off when you want it to.

Soft leather, built to be set down

All of them are cut from split cow leather with a clear grain and a firm, smooth hand. The base is thickened, so it takes being set down a lot.

The Pleat Shoulder Bag takes the full day kit: phone, sunglasses, a cushion compact, lipstick, keys and earbuds. The Mini Roll is for the short list.

Each comes in black and a deep brown. Pick the ride you like, clip a charm to it, and stay open all day.

Good to know: a charm travels in the same box as its bag, so adding one never raises the shipping cost.

Next door

Next door, the Mailman Bag and the Pleat Bag borrow the same buckled flap for days when you are going somewhere. The Treasure Bag folds an envelope flap over room for the everyday stuff and the lucky finds.
