An accessories brand under the legendary Japanese house Issey Miyake, Bao Bao was first introduced in 2000 before launching as a standalone line in 2010. The design originated as an homage to the architecture of Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, reflecting a shared interest in sculptural, unconventional forms. The brand’s signature is its use of triangular PVC pieces arranged on a flexible mesh fabric, creating bags that transform from flat planes into dynamic, three-dimensional shapes depending on their contents. This innovative construction results in accessories that are both functional and pieces of wearable art, celebrated for their lightweight and versatile nature.
