Established in 2018 by founders Liu Xing and Logan Chan, Pabepabe is a Hong Kong-based art accessories brand that operates at the intersection of fashion and conceptual art. Drawing inspiration from mundane, everyday objects, the brand transforms items like rain boots, light switches, and paint buckets into unconventional leather bags. This approach is rooted in what the brand itself calls a "ridiculous aesthetic," aiming to inject humor and absurdity into the world of accessories. The founders, both graduates of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, use their background in art to challenge the functional purpose of a bag, treating each piece as a medium for communication and a wearable piece of art.
