Classic Taiwanese Market Bag

cigar bag (used in TCM)

In those days, everyone had one.

In the days before supermarkets and shopping bags became popular, the most common thing on the streets of Taiwan was the three-colored knitted bag in every household - the "Tricolor Bag".Taiwanese Jia-Zhi Market Bag".

The bag originated in the 1960s and was first imported from Southeast Asia. It was named after the pattern of "Jia-Zhi" (a Cantonese term for water plant) printed on the body of the bag.

In the early years, Taiwanese families used it to go to the market to buy groceries, to move and pack, to load groceries, and it went into almost every corner of the people's lives.
It is not a fine product, but it is the most real container of life in that era, containing the food and oil and salt, as well as the collective memory of Taiwan.
