Under the influence, the whole European market started to pay attention to ingenious designs and personalized merchandises through the non-mainstream market. More than ten years ago, Taiwan has begun to promote its own Hand-feel Economy, returning back to the time when products are produced by hand. Under the Economies Of Scale, the world has faced an era of globalization and mass production results in the development of the fast fashion apparel industry. As a result, emotional handy-craft seems to be gradually disappearing with the advance of technology. However as the awareness of sustainability and recycling issues have increased, fashion brands start to think about the concept of cradle to cradle instead of cradle to grave and to reverse their design logistics to prevent unnecessary waste during the producing process in order to achieve Green Fashion. The fashion industry continuously works toward finding a new balance between fashion calendar and sustainable development that can encourage a slower production and conscious buying behavior. As a researcher of a bachelor degree in Fine Arts, the study chooses to use recycled yarn as if pigment to “paint” on knitwear to explore the advanced position in cheap clothing and its value of identification based on the concept of Hand-feel economy. This research analyzes both quantitative and qualitative research to explore the final result of using recycled yarn on handmade embroidery from collecting survey data and providing statistical analysis by using SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) software. The goal of the study not only concerns the future sustainable development but also seeks to understand the additional value that handmade embellishment adds on to the affordable clothing under the category of the Cultural and Creative Industry.
