TAGatherGoods is a brand founded by a New York architect from Taiwan. Educated in Columbia University, a renowned architecture school, with concentration in urban design. City is where my passion lies. After spending 10 years in NYC, I’m eager to make cities of my homeland as distinctive as NYC. The brand, TAGatherGoods, is created under this vision.
The reason
why fashion accessories were chosen for the start of the brand is that I believe that physical buildings of a city are confined in their geographical locations whereas fashion can go beyond the impression of a place into lifestyle and identity that people can long for and imagine from.
“Crafting Classics from Daily Goods” is the motto of the brand. The idea of “daily goods” came from the PVC canvas frequently used in Taiwanese’ daily urban surroundings. The PVC canvas with exclusive color stripes made up a large portion of cityscape - street vendors, outdoor catering, awning, etc. It used to be treated as ugly and old-school yet at the same time amazingly created an unique aesthetics which are waiting to be discovered and well-presented. Besides, the idea of “classics” came from the accepted classic, stripes pattern.
With the architectural belief, every material contains a story, the origin a n d n a t u re o f t h e m c a n n o t b e ignored or replaced.
With the architectural belief, every material contains a story, the origin and nature of them cannot be ignored or replaced. As canvas with stripes is the most fascinating and special form, they were applied when designing the products. Designing the products is a kind of construction because the ultimate products can be transformed into different forms and shapes. Moreover, many details are hidden in the products. Only when customers really start using the products, can the function and meaning be discovered. Just like the feature of Cubism, the life and depth of the goods are waiting for construction.

Materials Connection — PVC Canvas
PVC canvas presents water proof, tough and wear resistance characteristics. It can be ubiquitously seen in the market, stores and temporarily setup space in Taiwan. While we discover the high potential hidden in this daily material, we are also amazed by how the daring bold colors echo Taiwan’s cityscape and speak to western men shirt’s classic aesthetics. Via carefully fold the stripes, we give birth to each bag’s three dimensional form. Just because of its superior wear-resistance, all our designs are more durable than cotton canvas goods. However, it also challenges our craftsmanship and tailoring skills. Only leather-goods level sewing table would be able to achieve high fashion’s details and quality which we aim for.
