Meet the Teeny Bao
Straight from Taipei's night markets to your favourite everyday carry. The cutest dumpling you'll never eat — and our final run of this cult-favourite city mascot.
What makes it special:
Part of our limited-edition City Mascot Collection, this adorable bao bun captures pure joy in bead form. His sweet smile pairs with Crystals by Swarovski® and Japanese Miyuki® beads in a perfectly proportioned Teeny Ting design. Once he's gone, he's gone forever — this is the final batch of our most requested little friend.
Style it your way:
Your new everyday companion. Hang from your phone, loop to your keys, or attach to your bag as the ultimate conversation starter. He's impossibly cute, impossibly collectible, and guaranteed to make you smile every single time you see him.
