Red-white-blue bag

Because the nylon canvas is known of its light, firmness and durable usage, it is commonly used as hand carry luggage and transport between Mainland China and Hong Kong.

[1] The Red-White-Blue bag was originally made from nylon canvas, which was invented by Japan, then exported to Taiwan and eventually came to Hong Kong.

[2] Bags were only blue and white in the first place, but red was added to the fabric so that the color combination represented luck and good fortune.

These days, the Red-White-Blue bag is made of woven plastic fabric, either polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).

It later became a fashionable icon in popular culture and further reinforce the core value, design and meanings of R-W-B to Hong Kong’s youth generation.
