【 Print Introduction 】 "Authentic Taiwanese Flavor." What represents authentic Taiwanese flavor? "Blue and white flip-flops" are definitely among the top three choices for most Taiwanese. Tracing back to history, it began in 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 in their daily lives, which was neither safe nor elegant. Thus, the Ministry of National Defense instructed the Combined Services Forces Factory 304, which produced military boots, to develop lightweight slippers that could be mass-produced. They adopted the national emblem's blue and white colors, giving birth to the prototype of the flip-flop. With the subsequent development of the plastics industry, it was gradually improved into the classic blue and white flip-flops we see today. 【 Brand Introduction 】 Jin Yuan Xing: A Century-Old Fabric Store from Tainan Founded in 1923, by the first-generation founder Mr. Chang Xiang, starting from a modest house on Shennong Street in Tainan. The business initially focused on fabric import, dyeing, and wholesale retail, gradually developing into an important fabric supplier during the Japanese colonial and post-restoration periods. However, with industrial transformation and changes in consumer behavior, the fabric store business gradually declined. A century later, it has transformed into "Jin Yuan Xing Fabric Store," "Jin Yuan Xing Lifestyle," and "Jin Yuan Xing Space." Weaving local culture with creative aesthetics, we continue to inherit the diligent spirit of the century-old fabric store through printed fabric design, lifestyle product development, and the curation of arts and cultural events. ___ Excellent feel with double-sided material / Compact 27cm size, perfect for carrying around / Cosi Socks collaboration product ___ Material: 100% Cotton Size: 27*27cm ± 1cm Origin: Taiwan
