The Bag with Colored Combination Lock

A Unique Fashion Accessory for Customizable Bags

This innovative design by Jiwon Shin introduces a new way to secure and personalize bags. The Bag with Colored Combination Lock features a colored lock that allows users to open the bag with color matches, rather than traditional numbers. This fashion accessory not only adds a unique touch to the bag's exterior design but also provides a customizable and secure opening mechanism.

The Bag with Colored Combination Lock stands out from other bags on the market due to its distinctive feature - the colored combination lock. Instead of relying on traditional number combinations, users can create their own color password, making each bag truly unique. This design allows for endless possibilities in bag customization, as various exterior designs can be created using this special fashion accessory.

The bag's exterior is made of high-quality crocodile leather, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated look. The interior is lined with soft pink suede, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design. The combination lock part is filled with exclusive and metallic colors using an airbrush, similar to the technique used in car coloring. This ensures a vibrant and long-lasting finish.

With dimensions of 280mm x 100mm x 220mm, the Bag with Colored Combination Lock offers ample space for personal belongings. The lock itself measures 25mm x 65mm x 7mm, providing a compact and secure locking mechanism. The bag's technical properties include coloring with an airbrush, expert leather treatment, and 3D modeling for research purposes.

The Bag with Colored Combination Lock was conceptualized in 2011 by Jiwon Shin in Seoul, South Korea. Extensive research and experimentation were conducted between 2012 and 2013 to perfect the design. The first finalized product was launched in 2013, showcasing the culmination of Shin's dedication and innovative thinking.

Overcoming creative and technical challenges, Shin successfully created a fashion accessory that stands out in the market. The Bag with Colored Combination Lock eliminates the need for patterns or logos on the bag's exterior, as the colored lock itself becomes the signature feature. The most significant challenge was perfecting the coloring process on the small space of the lock. Through extensive research and experimentation, Shin discovered that using an airbrush, commonly used for Gundam toy coloring, achieved the desired result.

The Bag with Colored Combination Lock has been recognized for its excellence in design, winning the Iron A' Design Award in the Fashion and Travel Accessories category in 2014. This prestigious award acknowledges the well-designed, practical, and innovative nature of the design, meeting professional and industrial requirements. The Bag with Colored Combination Lock is not only a fashion statement but also a functional and secure accessory that adds a touch of individuality to any bag.
