【 About the Print 】
"The more local, the more stylish."
The "Jia-Zhi Bag" (茄芷袋), originally pronounced "Ga-Zhi" in Taiwanese Hokkien, also known as "Ga-Jian-Zai" or "Jiao-Jian-Zai," is a uniquely Taiwanese tote bag. Its name is derived from the Japanese word "kagiami," referring to its weaving technique. Legend has it that the Jia-Zhi Bag originated in Jingliao Village, Houbi District, Tainan City. Initially handcrafted from蔺草 (water umbrella sedge), it evolved with Taiwan's industrialization to be made from the commonly seen three-color nylon mesh fabric. Its soft texture, waterproof and durable nature, coupled with its affordability, has made it a must-buy local souvenir for many tourists visiting Taiwan.
【 About the Brand 】
Jin Yuan Xing: A Century-Old Fabric Merchant from Tainan
Established 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 growing into a significant fabric supplier during the Japanese colonial era and post-war period. However, with industrial transformation and changing consumer habits, the fabric business began to decline. A century later, it has been revitalized as "Jin Yuan Xing Fabric Merchant," "Jin Yuan Xing Living," and "Jin Yuan Xing Space." Weaving local culture with creative aesthetics, we continue to uphold the century-old spirit of diligence through original print fabric designs, lifestyle product development, and cultural event planning.
