From Taiwan’s Fish Scales to Japan’s Design Stage — SATBAKHI Creates the First Award-Winning Leggings in 68 Years

Winner of the 2025 GOOD DESIGN AWARD | Tokyo, Japan

In 2025, the GOOD DESIGN AWARD in Japan celebrates its 68th year, with over 5,225 entries submitted from around the world. Among them, Taiwan’s sustainable brand SATBAKHI stood out, earning international recognition with its Collagen Moisturizing Q-Soft Leggings — becoming the first leggings in the 68-year history of the GOOD DESIGN AWARD to receive this honor.

Born in Taiwan, this groundbreaking creation began with something incredibly ordinary — discarded milkfish scales.

SATBAKHI redefined these scales into a regenerative collagen design material, collaborating with local fisheries to extract nano-scale collagen fibers and blend them with high-elastic nylon. The result is a textile that combines skin-repairing moisture retention with exceptional flexibility. Wearing the Q-Soft Leggings feels like applying a breathable layer of skincare — turning everyday movement into gentle restoration.

The judges praised the design highly:

“This project not only redefines the value of discarded fish scales but also embodies a sustainable lifestyle through contemporary aesthetics. From textile innovation to packaging design, every detail reflects deep environmental and cultural awareness.”

For SATBAKHI, this award is more than recognition — it’s a tribute to Taiwan’s local culture and creativity. From Taiwan’s fishing ports to Japan’s design stage, the brand has woven a story that connects people, the ocean, and the planet — all through one seemingly simple yet powerfully restorative pair of leggings.

“We believe that the value of design lies not only in form, but in inspiring reflection — that fish scales can change not just the skin, but the Earth.”
