"舊好生活" (Reducereuse) creates products that are primarily made from waste materials and scraps generated during the production process of industrial bags, such as cement bags, in paper factories. Through the concept of design, we collaborate with individuals in the Kaohsiung area who are unable to work full-time or elderly community members to engage in sewing as subcontractors, producing various cultural and creative products, such as bags, picnic mats, cardholders, long wallets, coin pouches, file folders, bottle pouches, and more. The outer layer of the industrial bags used as raw materials is made of durable craft paper, while the inner layer is made of PE laminated woven material. This ensures that our products have the same robustness and durability as industrial bags, as well as water-resistant properties. The plain earth-tone color of the craft paper brings a minimalist, understated, and elegant style to the products. Depending on the acquired waste materials, the products may retain the printing content of the industrial bags, giving them a unique industrial flavor and distinctive characteristics.
