Lu Fangchuan, Tzu Chi's charity development director, explains that to add value to traditional Aboriginal handicrafts, it is necessary to integrate them with other products. For instance, beading can be added to the latest fashions, leatherwear, or home ornaments. LED lamps can be given an Aboriginal flavor. If Aboriginal artisans move in new creative directions, they'll be able to sell their work for higher prices.
慈濟基金會慈善志業發展處主任呂芳川表示，若要提升原民傳統工藝的附加價值，必需整合其他產品，如串珠可結合時裝、皮件、家飾品，又如 LED 燈的燈罩加上原住民風味，既可以走出創作新方向，又可賣得好價錢。
