Zoinks! Cartoon Looking Messenger, Travel and Handbags for Guys and Girls.





Hand bags, messenger bags, travel bags and camera bags for both guys and girls by Taipei-based design duo, Chay Su and Rika Lin of JumpFromPaper look like flat cartoons but instead are truly three-dimensional functional bags.






Made of brightly colored polyester with thick black outlines, the bags appear as two dimensional drawings, but they actually expand with a zippered bottom and are roomy enough to accommodate personal belongs and even a laptop.











Easy to care for, the bags can be cleaned with a simple cloth.
