Product Summary: Experience the unique charm of Taiwan through indigenous culture, handcrafted textile artistry, and the profound meaning of traditional patterns. Infused with contemporary eco-conscious concepts, we create one-of-a-kind cultural and creative products rooted in Taiwan. Product Description: From Taiwan's original nine recognized indigenous groups to the current fifteen, awareness and appreciation for cultural preservation have grown, particularly after the impact of the film "Seediq Bale." This has led to a deeper engagement with the beauty of indigenous totems. Inspired by traditional indigenous attire, we artfully integrate rich cultural heritage into your everyday life. Our wine bottle sleeves are meticulously crafted with exquisite embroidery, some adorned with bells, others featuring handmade weaving, and all showcasing the unique representative totems of various tribes. Unlike mass-produced prints, every detail and texture is vividly apparent. The wine bottle sleeve and inner pouch are designed for easy separation, with the sleeve adaptable to various bottle sizes. Whether as a gift or for personal use, this design carries a significant cultural legacy. Saisiyat: The Saisiyat people reside in the mountainous regions straddling Hsinchu and Miaoli counties, at altitudes between approximately 500 to 1500 meters. With a population of just over 6,000, their weaving materials are primarily ramie, cultivated by the women themselves. After drying, the ramie is spun into threads and woven into textiles using looms. They also utilize leather processed from hunted game. In modern times, cotton has become more prevalent, with the Saisiyat purchasing cotton cloth from Han Chinese communities for their creations. Saisiyat weaving patterns are often seen as symbols of wisdom and honor, representing personal and familial heritage; each family possesses its own skilled weaving techniques. Common traditional patterns include diamond motifs, swastika patterns, XO patterns, and linear designs. These are typically created through intricate variations of red, black, and white. The primary color symbolism for the Saisiyat people is: Red: Represents warmth and enthusiasm in treating others. Black: Signifies integrity and honesty in one's character. White: Symbolizes purity of heart. Dimensions (CM) Inner Bag: 18x41x8 CM (Body x With Handle x Base Diameter) Wine Sleeve: 26.5x21x16.5 CM (Full Length Laid Flat x Hem Width x Sleeve Opening Width)
