The design components of the tiger, pig, kite, and other animals that have characteristics of Oriental plane shape are used in the case cover part. In the culture of the East, tigers are associated with protecting and warding off evil spirits, pigs are associated with blessings, happiness, and perfection, and kites are associated with freedom, romance, and innocence. The entire series of works emphasize people’s desire for freedom, peace, joy, and happiness while preserving the Oriental civilisation and presenting Asian tales.

This collection of handbags design is primarily aimed at young people who value traditional culture. The designer examine their preferences and consumption paradigms and investigate how traditional Oriental patterns and culture might be combined with the dominant mainstream style. The design of the handbag’s lid pattern features pattern elements that are novel and include features of Oriental plane modeling, which is the innovation point. In order to better meet the aesthetic requirements of young generation’s taste, the patterns are much more intriguing and interesting. In terms of the form of expression communicates, it makes use of advantages of tradition and modern, the East and West, resulting in a chemical reaction of one plus one more than two, which is done with the aid of western handcrafted leather carving technology.
