Flow Zen Hobo × Fan Bingbing | Marie Claire

Marie Claire Vietnam August Issue - In Her Own Time

For its August issue, Marie Claire Vietnam features Fan Bingbing on the cover, with a conversation about cinema, growth, beauty, and finding her way back to herself.

After more than two decades in the spotlight, she reflects on the different roles and chapters she has experienced, and the freedom to become a version of herself that feels more grounded and true.

The issue’s theme, “In Her Own Time,” celebrates the idea of finding your own rhythm rather than following someone else’s definition of beauty.

Flow Zen Hobo - A New Addition to the Flow Family

The Flow Zen Hobo (Double-Faced Suede) is a Pre-Autumn addition to BAMPO’s Flow family, designed to move beyond the season.

Its double-faced suede brings a soft, warm texture to the relaxed silhouette, while the two-sided design offers a different expression from every angle. Available in Green and Caramel, it is designed for year-round wear and can be carried underarm, on the shoulder, or crossbody.

A signature detail is the Hulu Blessing Compass, inspired by the traditional compass and the auspicious symbolism of the gourd. Eight ancient Chinese characters — abundance, luck, blessing, joy, growth, prosperity, love, and beauty — are incorporated into the rotating design.

One spin, a little blessing.

Fan Bingbing × Flow Zen Hobo - A Moment in Deep Green

The shoot unfolds in a deep green palette, with Fan Bingbing and the Flow Zen Hobo becoming part of the same visual landscape.

The rich green of the bag echoes the surrounding tones, while the soft suede complements the flowing lines of her dress, bringing the colors and textures together in natural balance.

The Hulu Blessing Compass on the Flow Zen Hobo brings that little wish for something beautiful into the frame. In your own time, may every spin point to something good — much like the spirit of “In Her Own Time,” moving forward at your own pace and finding meaning in each moment.

A Moment for BAMPO

For us, moments like this are a lovely way to see BAMPO’s designs in a new context.

Rooted in Eastern aesthetics and inspired by nature, culture, and craftsmanship, our designs are always shaped by a mix of influences.

Seeing the Flow Zen Hobo featured in Marie Claire Vietnam alongside Fan Bingbing was a special moment for us — and a chance to see the bag become part of a different story.
