Over the years, Chinese-made products developed a reputation for being lower tier products. Which is undeserved, considering many brands in many industries build their products in China. And while it’s true that there are bad apples in the bunch and some companies tend to pirate more than innovate, others are working hard to change that image and deliver great EDC products, too. In this guide we’re shining a light on Chinese brands that may have flown under your radar and are worth a closer look, creating new and innovative products that deserve a spot in your EDC. If you’re looking for something new, different, and sometimes on the cutting edge, we hope our list has something for you.
