The photo above is that of a Koi (Japanese carp). This one is a Goromo - one of the many different varieties of Koi . One of my first and certainly not my last.

Koi inspired design

 

I was on a short vacation to Macau and wandering around within the shopping mall of the Venetian Macao when I saw this on a shop window.

Koi inspired luggage design

This shop specialises in suitcases. On its own, most will not link the vibrant colours on the suitcase to the “living jewels”. There are croc-skin handbags/suitcases, snake-skin handbags/suitcases and what about having a fish-skin handbag/suitcase. I had seen a TV documentary that people actually made clothes out of dried fish skin. Imagine what you can do with a expensive champion Koi who passes on. LOL.

This suitcase is not made of fish skin. Just nice paintwork.

A few weeks later, back home in Singapore. I chanced upon the similar display in a similar shop at Millenia Walk. So, Koi-inspired design seems to be the flavour of the month.
