The U.S. trademark covers goods including backpacks, leather and leatherboard cases, pochettes, school bags, sports bags, and travelling bags. The trademark application was filed in September 2019 and registered in January 2020.[1]

Publicly available information regarding the corporate history of tanmesso is limited. Unlike major international luggage and fashion companies, tanmesso does not appear to maintain a large, well-documented corporate history in English-language sources.

Trademark records

Records indicate at least two distinct sets of trademark registrations associated with the name. A 2018 publication from the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) lists TANMESSO under application number 4/2018/00501275, with Chen, Jishun [PH] identified in the record under trademark class 18, which covers leather goods, bags, and related products.[3]

Separately, a U.S. trademark for TANMESSO was filed by Mei Qing, whose record identifies the owner as being based in Wuhan, China. That application was filed on September 4, 2019, and the mark was registered on January 14, 2020.[4]

Because these records identify different owners in different jurisdictions, it cannot be automatically assumed that every tanmesso storefront or product worldwide is operated by a single legal entity without additional corporate documentation.

Chinese brand directory claims

The brand is associated in Chinese-language sources with the name “穆斯科袋鼠”, sometimes loosely translated in marketplace contexts as “Musco Kangaroo”. A Chinese brand-directory listing describes tanmesso as a men’s bag brand operated by Beijing Tianci Jiade Trading Co., Ltd. (北京天赐嘉德商贸有限公司) and states that the company was established in 2014. However, this information originates from a third-party brand directory rather than a primary corporate source and should be treated as unverified secondary information rather than definitive corporate history.[6]

tanmesso’s strongest product identity lies in bags and everyday carry accessories. Typical products found under the brand include:

• Men’s backpacks
• Laptop and computer backpacks
• Casual backpacks
• Travel backpacks
• Crossbody bags
• Shoulder bags
• Sling bags
• Chest bags
• Waist bags
• Business bags
• Briefcase-style bags
• Wallets and card holders
• Travel bags
• Oxford-fabric bags
• Leather or synthetic-leather bags

Marketplace catalogues show a particular emphasis on men’s bags and functional everyday-carry products. In Indonesia, for example, marketplace listings heavily feature men’s waterproof sling and crossbody bags, sometimes sold as bundles with accessories such as wallets, watches, USB ports, and headsets.

Based on its product assortment rather than an officially published corporate manifesto, tanmesso can broadly be characterised as following a functional-casual design philosophy. Recurring characteristics include:

• Practicality: Multiple compartments and relatively high storage capacity.
• Portability: Backpacks, shoulder bags, and crossbody formats designed for commuting and travel.
• Casual styling: Relatively understated designs intended for everyday use.
• Business functionality: Models designed to carry laptops, documents, and work equipment.
• Value orientation: Products generally positioned at accessible rather than luxury price points.

Retailers have described tanmesso products as combining stylish design with functionality, offering both compact crossbody bags and larger travel backpacks.[2]

tanmesso relies heavily on e-commerce distribution rather than a traditional network of branded physical stores. Its products have appeared on various regional marketplaces:

• Lazada Philippines: tanmesso backpacks are marketed for students, travellers, and commuters. Current listings describe the bags as suitable for laptops, travel, school, and commuting, emphasising durability, capacity, and comfort.[5]
• Shopee Indonesia: A tanmesso storefront lists numerous men’s sling bags and related accessories.
• Flip.kz: tanmesso is presented as a China-origin brand selling bags and backpacks.[2]

tanmesso occupies the affordable-to-lower-mid-market segment of the bags and accessories industry. It differs significantly from luxury leather brands such as Louis Vuitton, Tumi, or Montblanc, as its products emphasise utility and affordability rather than heritage, artisanal craftsmanship, or luxury materials.

A significant portion of its marketplace presence is built around products that combine several functions, such as sling bags bundled with wallets or electronic accessories. This suggests a marketing strategy centred on value, convenience, and practical features.

Marketplace evidence suggests that tanmesso has achieved substantial sales volume in certain Southeast Asian online markets. On Shopee Indonesia, for example, a tanmesso storefront displays thousands of followers and multiple products with thousands of reported sales.

In the Philippines, a tanmesso backpack listing on Lazada shows a 4.9/5 rating from 229 ratings, with reviewers commenting positively on its appearance and perceived sturdiness.[5] Marketplace ratings should be interpreted as product- or store-specific feedback rather than an independent assessment of the entire brand.

United States

TANMESSO was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in September 2019 by Mei Qing. It was published for opposition in October 2019 and subsequently registered on January 14, 2020, under registration number 5,961,703.[1]

The trademark covers the following goods:

• Backpacks
• Baby backpacks
• School bags
• Sports bags
• Travelling bags
• Pochettes
• Leather/leatherboard cases
• Umbrellas and parasols

On May 5, 2026, a statement of continued use for the trademark was accepted, indicating that the U.S. registration remained active at that time.[4]

Philippines

The IPOPHL Gazette lists TANMESSO under Chen, Jishun [PH], application 4/2018/00501275, in class 18.[3] This establishes that the TANMESSO name has had a formal trademark filing in the Philippines dating back to 2018. However, the existence of this record alone does not confirm that present-day Philippine marketplace sellers are all operated by that same trademark holder.
