Real life cartoon bags





































Dear Readers, your eyes deceive you not; these are cartoon bags in real life. I did all the investigation work so you don't have to ... and yes, these are real and very, very popular!

From their site: 

"JumpFromPaper™ is a playful and innovative line of bags created by Taipei-based design duo, Chay Su and Rika Lin.
One cozy afternoon, the two girls were chatting, when they got to sketching their dream designer bag. A surprising idea popped up – “How amazing it would be if a two-dimensional hand-drawn illustration could come to life as a real bag!” They explored every possibility, rendering fantasy handbags in perspective, and giving birth to JumpFromPaper™.
Cartoon-like outlines and bright and cheerful colors add a brisk yet funky flavor. And despite the slim appearance, each JumpFromPaper™ bag has a roomy interior to accommodate personal belongings and even iPad/tablets.
JumpFromPaper™ takes handbag design on a new journey, ready to twist people’s view!"



































Apparently demand is very high, and they have sold out in a number of outlets. Not sure if I will wear one, but kudos to the designers for putting a new twist on an every-day item.
