Bao Bao Issey Miyake to release the purr-fect feline bag for Playful Vol 2 collection

While I like my bags mostly in traditional designs, every once in a while I use one that’s more of a conversation starter, whether it’s because of the print, the color, or the design. If there’s one thing that can instantly lift your spirits and add a dash of whimsy to your wardrobe, whatever you’re wearing, it’s a bag that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still manages to be endlessly stylish.

Enter the Playful Volume 2 collection by Bao Bao Issey Miyake, with its irresistibly charming Meow bags. Bao Bao Issey Miyake has always been a brand that pushes the boundaries of design. Known for its geometric, origami-inspired bags, the brand fuses precise engineering with a sense of fun. The Playful Volume series, now in its second edition, takes this ethos to a whole new level. The Meow bags are a delightful tribute to our feline friends, and it’s clear that these bags were designed to make you smile.

Designer: Bao Bao Issey Miyake

The Meow bags take Bao Bao’s signature triangular motif and transform it into playful cat faces, complete with “whiskers,” pointy ears, expressive 3D lenticular eyes, and a tail-shaped handle. Each bag is a celebration of individuality, since the patterns on the face are slightly different on every bag, making each piece unique. The Meow bags are available in a range of colors, including black x off-white, blue x red, dark gray x yellow, and black, making them as versatile as they are eye-catching.

True to Bao Bao Issey Miyake’s reputation, these bags are marvels of construction. Made from lightweight yet durable materials, they fold and flex with your movements, making them as practical as they are fun. The adjustable straps and roomy interiors ensure that you can carry your daily essentials (and maybe a few cat treats) with ease. They still look a little small for me since I carry half my house everywhere I go, but they may be handy for days when I want to just be cute and light.

One of the best things about the Meow bags is how effortlessly they add personality to any outfit. Pair yours with a simple jeans-and-tee combo for a playful daytime look, or let it be the statement piece against a monochrome dress for a night out. The geometric design and bold motifs make these bags surprisingly easy to style, whether you lean towards minimalism or maximalist chic.
