[Jin Yuan Xing] Tetrapod Folding Shopping Bag | Tote Bag, Shopping Bag, Canvas Bag, Large Capacity

【 Print Introduction 】 "Don't stray from the right path." Originating from World War II, tetrapods were initially deployed as battlefield defenses to block tanks. After the war, when discarded by the sea, their excellent wave-dissipating properties were discovered, leading to their ubiquitous presence along coastlines today. Resembling "zongzi" (sticky rice dumplings), they are colloquially known as "jok-chng-kha" in Taiwanese Hokkien. There's even an urban legend in Taiwan about being made into tetrapods if one gets involved with organized crime. However, on Taiwan's 1,338-kilometer coastline, structures like tetrapods, harbors, and seawalls occupy as much as 753 kilometers. These artificial concrete structures may also impact coastal ecosystems and the connection between humans and the ocean, a matter worthy of our deep consideration. 【 Brand Introduction 】 Jin Yuan Xing: A Century-Old Fabric Store from Tainan Founded in 1923 by the first-generation founder, Mr. Chang Xiang, starting from a humble shop on Shennong Street in Tainan. The business initially focused on fabric import, dyeing, and wholesale/retail, gradually developing into a significant fabric supplier during the Japanese colonial era and post-war period. However, with industrial transformation and changing consumption patterns, the fabric store business gradually declined. A century later, it has transformed into "Jin Yuan Xing Fabric Store," "Jin Yuan Xing Living," and "Jin Yuan Xing Space." Weaving local culture with creative aesthetics, we continue to pass on the diligent spirit of a century-old fabric store through the design of printed fabrics, the development of daily necessities, and the curation of cultural and artistic activities. ___ Folds to 10*10cm / Double-sided with different print designs / Machine washable ___ Material: 100% Polyester Dimensions: 10*10cm when folded, 47*68cm when unfolded (±2cm) Origin: Taiwan *Due to variations in print cutting, each fabric product may have slight differences in its pattern.
