Katsia Products Review
Uncle Brian gifted me these products to review. I wasn’t paid or sponsored for this post — all opinions are 100% my own.
Your trust matters to me, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
I first met Uncle Brian on an EVA Air Premium Economy flight from Taiwan to New York. A few hours and several travel chats later, he shared that he’d just launched his own Amazon business featuring products made in Taiwan!
Fast forward — Brian kindly sent me three of his creations to test out, all designed with practicality and sustainability in mind. I couldn’t wait to see how these Taiwanese-made products held up in everyday life — and now, I’m sharing my honest thoughts with you!
ParaSlim Beverage Cup Holder
WHAT IS IT?
A small but mighty beverage holder made from durable parachute cord — a sustainable alternative to plastic or paper drink bags.
MY THOUGHTS
Lightweight, cute, and surprisingly super sturdy!
Perfect for takeout drinks or when you’re juggling multiple items. It’s a clever, eco-friendly swap that keeps your hands free and your style intact.
Handcrafted Phone Lanyard Strap
WHAT IS IT?
An adjustable sling (38–63”) that comes with two card inserts so you can hook your phone, keys, or office badge hands-free.
MY THOUGHTS
The floral details are adorable, and the adjustability makes it super functional. At first, I didn’t realize it was adjustable — but once I figured it out, it became a new go-to for travel days and errands.
DuoStyle Canvas Tote + Shoulder Bag
WHAT IS IT?
A structured small canvas tote with a magnetic closure, lined interior, and three roomy pockets.
Fits an iPad, documents, or daily essentials with ease.
MY THOUGHTS
This one stole my heart. The size is just right — not too bulky, not too small — and the strap length works perfectly whether I’m in a T-shirt or thin coat.
The multiple pockets? A total win for anyone who loves staying organized while on the go.
final thoughts
First off, I love that everything is proudly made in Taiwan 🇹🇼
— it makes supporting these products even more meaningful.

Each item blends simplicity, quality, and sustainability beautifully. They’re everyday essentials reimagined with care — practical, reusable, and built to last.
If I could suggest one improvement, it’d be to include a mini instruction card or QR code tag for easy setup and use (especially for items like the lanyard).
That would make the unboxing even smoother while staying eco-friendly.
Overall, I’m genuinely impressed by what Uncle Brian has created.
The tote bag has literally become my travel staple — I travel everywhere with it and it’s just amazing how organized I can be from going into the airport to a cafe in Vietnam… and I can’t wait to see what Katsia launches next!
