"Authentic Taiwanese Flavor." What represents authentic Taiwanese flavor? The "Blue and White Flip-Flops" are definitely among the top three choices for most Taiwanese people. Tracing back through history, it began around the 1950s when the government relocated to Taiwan. At that time, people's living standards were not high. Besides wearing straw or cloth shoes for work, most people went barefoot on a daily basis, which was neither safe nor elegant. Thus, the Ministry of National Defense instructed the 304 Factory of the Combined Logistics Command, which produced military boots, to develop lightweight flip-flops that could be mass-produced. They adopted the national emblem's blue and white color scheme, giving rise to the prototype of these flip-flops. With the subsequent development of the plastics industry, they were gradually improved into the classic blue and white flip-flops we see today. ___ Exclusive Print Design / Designed, Produced, and Manufactured in Taiwan / Carefully Selected Yingge Ceramics ___ Material: Yingge Ceramics Size: 11cm Origin: Taiwan
