What would the folks behind BAGGU and Lo & Sons fill their bags with? Derek Lo from Lo & Sons and Emily Sugihara of BAGGU shared with Hyphen some of their favorite products and stores created by Asian Americans.

1. Incase: “As avid fans of Apple products, Incase is our go-to for laptop or phone accessories.”

2. Tonia Kim: “Amazing handmade jewelry based out of Chicago!”

3. Headliner Bags: “Jan and I are DJs, so Headliner's design approach has been inspirational to us because they created bags that are multi-functional and designed for use even when you're not in the DJ booth.”

4. Mother-in-Law’s Kimchi: “Every Korean mom has the best kimchi. But we love how MILKimchi has brought the art of making kimchi to a new audience.”
