[Jin Yuan Xing] "Monkey Business" Tote Bag | Shopper Bag | Canvas Bag | Large Capacity | A4 | Printed

【 About the Print 】 "Monkey Business!" Why do private investigator ads everywhere use the term "catching a monkey"? There are three theories: The first originates from the Japanese colonial era when Taiwanese would break a monkey's tail to prevent it from escaping into the mountains, just as infidelity was punished by cutting off a cheater's hair. The second theory extends the "leading a monkey" street performance to signify an improper relationship. The third theory stems from the fact that early wives often called their husbands "old monkey," hence the term "catching a monkey." With the development of internet information, individuals can now easily access information. However, in the past, private investigators, in addition to their investigative functions, might have served as a form of underground counseling, supporting the helpless souls within anxious families. 【 About the Brand 】 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 dwelling on Shennong Street in Tainan. The business initially focused on fabric import, dyeing, finishing, wholesale, and retail, gradually developing into a significant fabric supplier during the Japanese colonial and post-war periods. However, with industrial transformation and changing consumer habits, the fabric store business gradually declined. A century later, it has transformed into "Jin Yuan Xing Fabric Store," "Jin Yuan Xing Life," and "Jin Yuan Xing Space." Weaving local culture with creative aesthetics, we continue to inherit the diligent spirit of the century-old fabric store through the design of printed fabrics, the development of daily necessities, and the curation of cultural and artistic activities. ___ Exclusive Print Design / Designed, Produced, and Made in Taiwan / Fits A4 and A3 Documents / Internal Side Pocket ___ Material: 100% Polyester Fiber Dimensions: 35*40cm (Handle Drop: 30cm) Origin: Taiwan *Due to variations in print cutting, the pattern placement may differ slightly.
