Discover this new, fun and colourful Cantonese Sayings Tote Bag created in collaboration with I'll Know It When I See It.

Based in Vancouver, BC, I’ll Know It When I See It is a two-woman business, creating fun and Asian-inspired paper goods and gifts. The founders both have long standing ties to Vancouver's Chinatown - Christine's great grandparents called Chinatown their home when they immigrated to Canada in 1913 and Cassie's grandmother still lives in Chinatown to this day.

We are proud to support this local Chinese Canadian business and thankful for their contributions to our community.
