The tiger cub bootie is the quintessential gift for newborns in Chinese culture; it symbolizes a bestowal of ancestral hope, a lively childhood and health. Gazing at the world with large curious eyes, the design repeats circular elements (head, ears, eyes, crown) avoiding pointed corners and giving the design a youthful and spirited feel. Liuli’s translucency allows light to pass through and light up the design from within, illuminating its charm. The small bell hanging from the ear adds interest - rattle it to hear a gentle tinkle that will accompany the child as they grow. A modest cub today, a benevolent king tomorrow.
