With a history of seven thousand years, lacquer art originates in China, and spreads to Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia during the Han and Tang dynasties. Lacquerware is not only decorative but also of practical values such as anti-corrosion and pest resistance. However, as time goes on, lacquer art faces the challenge of market polarization, where the disparity between the high-end and low-end markets has led to a decrease in the demand for lacquer art products. To address this challenge, this study extracts various attributes of lacquer art fashion through an in-depth review of literature and semi-structured interviews with experts, combining insights from lacquer artists, lacquer art collectors, and fashion designers. This study ultimately identifies key attributes in the design of lacquer art fashion products, including heritage, cultural value, innovation, contemporary aesthetics, originality, high quality, delicacy, and craftsmanship. This phase of the research shows that lacquer art fashion products are not only a display of craftsmanship but also a combination of culture, heritage, and innovation. By integrating these attributes, lacquer art fashion products can keep pace with the times while retaining their profound cultural essence and exquisite craftsmanship, becoming a bridge that connects the past and the future.
