Made in China is Dead.

November 28, 2012

BUNDSHOP is a newly launched shopping startup, with a focus on items created by Chinese designers.



Their goal is to:
be a facilitator of incredible Chinese design to the world.
be the portal for the world to access never before seen Chinese design and stories;
be the curator of globally competitive design products from China;
be the sparker of passionate, cultured conversations about the Chinese creative spirit;
be the storyteller to communicate inspirations and dreams across literal and cultural seas.
- from the website.


Their collection includes clothes, accessories, and, my personal favorite, household goods.


Old school tea kettles make me smile.


I am in love with Latitude22N's blue and white porcelain products. They epitomize the classical and whimsical.


Even the container is beautiful:


I can't wait to see what they add in the future.

Anyways, hope everyone is doing splendidly! December is right around the corner. :)




p.s.

  2. Those porcelain pieces are gorgeous. My parents used to have an entire collection of those but they're becoming Westernized - only bowls and plates from Crate & Barrel now

  6. The tea kettle as a lamp is really cute! What a cool idea :) I also love the wavy designs on the porcelain. It looks modern but also a bit traditional.

    Ooh, the video is beautiful. I've been to all 3 cities, so I recognized several places!

  8. The designs are nice. I really like the time-lapse too, seems like Shangai is a very inspiring place were old and new, innovations and traditions mix.

    And... Damn, they must have a very high electricity bill! Sorry I couldn't help but this just came to mind!

  11. this is really a cool post - i feel like so many companies outsource manufacturing to china and try and brag that it is still designed in the US (I am that, actually) and we never look at Chinese design, when there are a lot of really creative and talented designers all over! I love those tea kettle lamps

  12. I really love this - the tea kettle designs are amazing. We always focus on 'designed in California' and stuff, but never look at great Chinese designs I feel.
