Bagged: Chanel’s Mobile Art Pavilion
Color us Coco-friendly black and white, but don’t color us surprised: the latest victim of these troubled times is the Zaha Hadid-designed Chanel Mobile Art Pavilion. Somewhat inexplicable even in a flush economy, the traveling, snail-shaped guerrilla gallery, built to house interpretations of Chanel’s iconic 2.55 handbag by such artists as Sylvie Fleury, David Levinthal and Fabrice Hybert, has finally deflated after stops in Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York City. A company spokesperson tells WWD, “We will be concentrating on strategic growth investments.” Karl Lagerfeld, who didn’t even show up for the unveiling in Hong Kong, has no comment. Perhaps he’s too busy designing his next vanity stuffed animal. This time it had better come with a bag.

The vegetable fiber is bleached pulp abaca hemp, a small plantation tree grown for the fiber, mostly in the Philippines and Colombia. Heat-sealed tea bag paper usually has a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or polypropylene, as a component fiber on inner side of the teabag surface.

History
The first tea bags were made from hand-sewn silk muslin bags and tea bag patents of this sort exist dating as early as 1903. First appearing commercially around 1904, tea bags were successfully marketed by tea and coffee shop merchant Thomas Sullivan from New York, who shipped his tea bags around the world. Modern tea bags are usually made of paper fiber.

茶包問世已經屆滿一百年，但不是每一個人都會慶祝。有孔的紙茶包已經徹底改變費時費事的午後喝茶傳統，使喝茶變得更方便，而且可以即時帶來滿足感，無形中挽救製茶產業。 不過許多雅好品茗的人士也認為，茶包使得這種優良的飲品淪為單寧混合物，既無法使人精神煥發，更無法帶來滿足。 根據倫敦泰晤士報13日報導，和許多發明一樣，茶包也是偶然的產物。1908年紐約咖啡商人蘇利文不斷試著降低成本，棄咖啡改就茶，為了減低成本，他將茶葉分裝在絲綢小包而不是錫紙包內當成樣品寄出。 客戶誤解他的用意；他們並未明白，蘇利文希望他們打開茶包後，將茶葉倒入壺中泡開。客戶是連同絲綢包一起放進壺裏。陰錯陽差下，茶包立刻大受美國喝茶人士的喜愛。 絲綢的包裝材質很快就以網紗取代。1930年，波士頓「技術紙公司」的赫曼森為紙纖維的茶包申請專利。 茶包大約半世紀後才越過大西洋。英國人最初對它很懷疑，甚至有人認為不小心掉到熱水裡的紙標籤都比茶粉有味道。此外，英國人也無法認同將茶包浸泡在一杯水 裡的作法。1964年，有孔茶包問世，局面從此改變。現在，英國人每天喝掉的1億3000萬杯茶當中，96%來自茶包。 |
