Other Accessories
In traditional Chinese folklore, the tiger is believed to have special powers as king of the beasts to protect children. The tiger-head hat given as a gift to a child implies a prayer of blessing for the child as well as a celebration of the child’s loveliness and vigorousness. These hats are hand embroidered complete with the traditional Chinese character for king stitched in the front middle. Each one is entirely unique and varies in color and design. A beautiful way to celebrate your child’s heritage and own a piece of artwork of a fading tradition.
Now, also available are handmade tiger change purses, tiger shoes, and tiger hair clips. Perfect for your child to wear for traditional photographs or simply to decorate a room!
