A small fabric-art boutique selling lovely bags, garments and souvenir items printed with images native to Taiwan; in particular, the island's flora and fauna. You can also try your hand at printing your own bag or T-shirt in the workshop upstairs, with a variety of patterns and colours to choose from.
