The China Bag: Zodiac by Ai Weiwei is a collectible artist bag published by TASCHEN, combining wearable design with Ai Weiwei’s engagement with Chinese tradition, craft, and contemporary visual language. The motif is based on a papercut created by Ai Weiwei for his Papercut Portfolio, published by TASCHEN in 2019, and connects to the artist’s wider use of zodiac imagery and Chinese cultural references.

Made from white PVC with a transparent inlay, the bag measures 47 × 64.5 cm / 18.5 × 25.4 in and is presented framed in clear plastic, ready to hang on the wall. Produced in a limited edition of 2,500, with a printed signature on the bag and numbering on the box, The China Bag: Zodiac is both a functional design object and a display-ready wall piece. A strong collectible for fans of Ai Weiwei, TASCHEN editions, wearable art, Chinese papercut motifs, zodiac imagery, and contemporary artist multiples.
