Collectote Multifunctional Bag

Collectote Multifunctional Bag is an innovative 3-in-1 modular bag system designed to address the organizational needs of collectors, professionals, and travelers. Developed by designer Yun Hsin Lee, this versatile accessory combines a large messenger bag with two detachable smaller bags, distinguished by different lining colors, offering enhanced functionality and adaptability across various use scenarios. The primary messenger bag component, measuring 30.5x39x11.5 centimeters, is crafted from durable nylon canvas and features sufficient capacity to accommodate multiple letter-size albums, a laptop, and overnight essentials. The design incorporates sophisticated M4 metal zippers and a leather flap closure system, enabling seamless transformation between configurations while maintaining structural integrity. The smaller detachable bag, measuring 23x29x5 centimeters, is specifically engineered for carrying essential items during activities such as museum visits, trade shows, or professional meetings. This thoughtfully conceived design emerged from extensive research within collector communities, particularly addressing the challenges faced by stamp collectors during trade shows and exhibitions. The integration of a leather cardholder further enhances its utility for both casual and professional users. The design's exceptional functionality and innovative approach earned recognition through a Bronze A' Design Award in the Fashion and Travel Accessories Design category, acknowledging its contribution to advancing accessory design solutions. The project, completed in New York between August 2012 and May 2013, represents a significant advancement in modular bag design, offering users the flexibility to adapt their carrying capacity according to specific needs while maintaining organizational efficiency.
