バッグ以上のもの, It's a Decade of Passion
This isn’t just a business. It’s a journey that began with 50 bags in a suitcase and a relentless drive to build something real, ethical, and unique.
The 10sqm Office & a Market Gap
In 2014, Pactus founder Jessy started in a 10sqm, windowless office. It began with just 50 Wayuu bags a friend brought back for her in a suitcase from Colombia. With no clients, she relied on her friend to source for her in their spare time. The market was empty. When celebrities like Song Ji-hyo and Ella were seen with Wayuu bags, demand exploded. Her shelves would often sell out. She knew she was onto something.
The Logistics Nightmare
Success brought challenges. Jessy needed more bags, but the logistics were a nightmare. Her buyer in a remote Colombian city faced a market of street stalls. No boxes, no direct logistics to China. Bags were stuffed into burlap sacks, sent to Bogota, repacked, and flown to Hong Kong (to save on the sky-high shipping costs). Worse, entering Shenzhen, customs (seeing the “sensitive” origin: Colombia) would often find excuses to seize a few bags simply because they were “pretty.”
The Journey to the Source
A single buyer wasn’t enough. In 2016, with a nervous heart, Jessy flew to the South American continent herself. She didn’t speak the language; she relied on friends to take her into the remote Wayuu territories. She saw the harsh conditions and felt a deep urge to help. This was the birth of Pactus’s “思いやりのある調達” philosophy—she couldn’t help but buy bags, even low-quality ones, just to support them. They began to build trust, contracting with families to weave directly.
The 180k Lesson & The Pivot to Innovation
By 2018, Pactus scaled to a 150sqm studio. Then, disaster. A 40-box shipment was seized by customs who found retail price tags. It cost Jessy 180,000 RMB to get them out. After that lesson, she formalized all logistics with UPS. But a new crisis emerged: homogenization. The market was saturated. As live-streaming sales shrank in 2024, she knew Pactus had to change.
To find a way out of the price war, Pactus activated its “リメイク” service. The company launched this global website not just to sell, but to lead. They decided to stop competing and start innovating, bringing their luxury-grade craft to the world and planting “Pactus Wayuu” in the mind of every client.
