Where design plays

GAYA WIE is running by the artist Juhé Wie.
GAYA WIE bags are mainly designed based on the inspiration I got from the Korean traditional architecture 'HANOK' and wooden furniture inside it. I study art piece to be used in daily life with its sculptural artistic touch as well as practicality. The overall design concept for GAYA WIE handbags is elegance, simplicity and most of all, practicality. I aim to provide people with the stronger attachment and ownership to their bags with unique details particularly designed for users’ convenience and fashion. I also aim to produce design that can carry both traditional and modern lifestyle.

Just like musical orchestra plays in the theatre, all different visual design factors of GAYA WIE bag plays its own music, and the visual orchestra completes the play as the user wears the bag. Everywhere the bag is worn by the user, the surrounding place forms visual theatre itself.

Venus’ Flower Basket

The bags made by GAYA WIE is called as Venus’ Flower Basket. Because, you are beautiful as Venus and your belongings are fragrant with sweet scent as flowers.
