Taiwanese designers Lin Su and Rika Lin create handbags that look just like they’ve jumped from the pages of a comic book. The unusual purses from their line Jump From Paper appear like two-dimensional, paper thin accessories, but they actually feature spacious interiors!
The designers were inspired to create the collection on seeing a two-dimensional window display promoting another fashion brand. This was merely a marketing tool, but it planted a seed in the Taiwanese pair. Why couldn’t this work in the real world?
Each one is made from canvas, a material so durable that we can forgive its lack of luxury. It’s also a blank slate for those bold designs, which are loosely based on popular handbag styles. You wouldn’t know it to look at them, but the Jump From Paper bags are so big you can easily fit iPads or laptops and school books inside them.
Jump From Paper bags are a bit gimmicky, but they’re also very original. And who said that fashion always has to take itself so seriously?
Jump From Paper bags are available from a range of retailers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Australia. If you’re not located anywhere near Asia or the land Down Under you can order one via e-mail through the Jump From Paper website.
