Trend analysis&design inspiration

Strong adaptability to different scenarios: From scalable structure, multi-mode portability to compressed storage, design flexibility should be a key consideration.

Pet comfort and owner experience are equally important: breathable, private, and soft pads have basic needs, and multiple pockets and openings are key to improving efficiency and emotional connection.

Size compatibility priority: The design must strictly follow the airline's required size (usually able to be placed under the front seat) to ensure that users have no worries about boarding experience.

Coexistence of Function and Style: High quality materials and simple lines make the bag an extension of fashion, rather than a simple tool.
