【 About the Print 】 "Authentically Taiwanese." What best represents the authentic Taiwanese spirit? The "Blue-and-White Flip-Flops" are undoubtedly a top three choice for most Taiwanese people. Tracing back its 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 went barefoot daily, which was neither safe nor decent. Thus, the Ministry of National Defense instructed the Combined Services Force 304 Factory, which produced military boots, to develop lightweight, mass-producible slippers. Using the national emblem's blue and white colors, the initial form of the flip-flop emerged. With the subsequent development of the plastics industry, it gradually evolved into the classic blue-and-white flip-flops we know today. 【 About the Brand 】 Jin Yuang Hsing: A Century-Old Fabric Store from Tainan Founded in 1923 by the first-generation founder, Mr. Chang Xiang, starting from a humble dwelling on Shennong Street in Tainan. Primarily engaged in fabric import, dyeing, finishing, wholesale, and retail, it gradually grew into a significant fabric supplier during the Japanese colonial era and after the restoration of Taiwan. However, with industrial transformation and changes in consumption patterns, the fabric store business gradually declined. A century later, it has transformed into "Jin Yuang Hsing Fabric Store," "Jin Yuang Hsing Living," and "Jin Yuang Hsing Space." Weaving local culture with creative aesthetics, we continue to pass on the diligent spirit of the century-old fabric store through exclusive print fabric designs, lifestyle product development, and art and cultural event planning. ___ Exclusive Print Design / Designed, Produced, and Made in Taiwan / Reversible / Brim can be folded up as a small hat ___ Material: 100% Polyester Fiber Size: M Origin: Taiwan *Due to variations in print cutting, the pattern on fabric products may differ slightly.
