Origin
Paper & Grid Mercantile (PGM) is a bag design brand founded by Po-Hsuan Hsu & Yin-Wen Chen who are also the founders of a branding design company PHDC. After helping lots of companies to develop comprehensive branding solutions, they decided to start their own bag brand with the desire to make great bags that last long. They named the brand based on the tools they used the most often as a branding design company: paper & grid system, to suggest their backgrounds.

NON-P TARP BAG Po-Hsuan Hsu & Yin-Wen Chen had studied in NYC for years. Since then, they fell in love with American Style bags and the craftsmanship behind. That is what inspired them the most. With their backgrounds (Communications Design & Fashion Merchandising), PGM offers a different point of view of bags and wishes to provide light, environment-friendly, easy-to-clean and also endurable bags to their customers. That was when they noticed Non-P tarpaulin.
Fabric WEEKENDER BAG
It took them more than 2 years to develop the fabric and texture they love: they develop this Non-P(Phthalate) tarpaulin fabric which has the perfect thickness, softness, and lightweight; yet it is firm, water-proof, environmental-friendly, and comes with a leather-like luster & texture. It is practical & stylish; it is good for outdoor activities & professional occasions. From the material selection, coating to stone-washed, PGM is proud to say this fabric is rarely seen in other brands and is custom-made for PGM.
Craftsman ship They found local bag craftsmen and realized that, in Taiwan, there are many great craftsmen specialized in many fields, including good-quality bags. These craftsmen have been working for big brands around the world for long long time and have accumulated a lot of experience. Paper & Gird wishes to advocate the craftsmanship of Taiwan, whilst give the design back to the primary needs for our customers.
