    Advising
    .KR is carry-on luggage designed for Korean students traveling to and from the United States, enabling them to bring along a piece of their homeland wherever they go. It is designed to make travel and adjustment to a new culture a less overwhelming experience.

    The bag was inspired by bojagi, a traditional wrapping cloth that was used by Koreans to carry items before the introduction of the backpack from the West. It was also inspired by the Asian floor table, a traditional object many Asian students in the United States use for their meals.

    Made from heavyweight nylon, polyester, leather, and injection-molded plastic, .KR can be converted from a bag to a dining surface. It is strong enough to hold heavy objects like a leather jacket or a camera and can be folded when not in use, thus requiring less space than a suitcase or backpack.
