In 1989, a group of third-year students at the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University decided to have some commemorative bookbags made to celebrate their upcoming graduation. They turned to The King to supply them. The bags were straight black, with no buckles, and printed with a three-character phrase identifying the owner as a "graduate of the Affiliated."
1989 年，一群即將從師大附中畢業的學生，興起了製作「紀念書包」的念頭，為了與上課用的書包作區隔，他們找上了書包大王，特製一款黑色、無扣，其上印著「附中人」的書包，沒想到大受好評，也引起一股「紀念書包」熱潮，迄今不衰。
