《KAMARO'AN》
Tribe is a "collective name for people" that has become established as a way to express different ethnic groups.
Initially small communities, then cities, kingdoms, empires,
And expand into globalization.

The world is gradually becoming more homogeneous.
People share the same modern system and pursue universal values.
Fortunately, Taiwan has passionately inherited its unique values, traditional culture, and craft techniques.
A small number of indigenous peoples remain, who have carefully preserved and accumulated ethnic knowledge.

However, like many rural areas around the world,
In areas with ancient traditions and culture,
The younger generation leaves for the cities and there is no successor.
As a result, local communities and economies lose their vitality and creativity.

It continues to shrink.
Looking back at the commonplace things that generations have become accustomed to;
In search of the original pure appearance and timeless essence that objects reflect,
Inspiring people.

To truly disclose the culture and values ​​of a land,
Rather than copywriting, interviews, campaigns, etc.
Based on the strong belief that it is a thing,
KAMARO'AN collaborated with two industrial designers in 2013.
A team of one indigenous culture researcher,
It started as a project to explore the possibility of embodying traditional crafts and their cultural values ​​in product design.

It has been established as a brand since 2015.
Inspired by Taiwan's indigenous culture, KAMARO'AN pursues delicate craftsmanship with clean design.
Working closely with local craftsmen and resources,
Creating workplaces for young people with indigenous backgrounds,
We are committed to supporting and preserving local traditions and working environments.
The origin of the name KAMARO'AN is
We value handmade daily necessities that reflect the way of life in harmony with nature of Pangcah, the folk language of the Amis, one of Taiwan's indigenous peoples.
We are particular about weaving methods that are flashy but practical.

KAMARO'AN is unique in that it can be brought to life by hand.
It celebrates timeless beauty and precision.
