Mambo is a kind of intoxication

If "mint" brings a visual interpretation of spring, then Mambo is the expression of spring emotion.

The word "Mambo" originates from the Latin dance type, born in Cuba and Haiti in the Caribbean Sea, is a mixed product of African and Central and South American cultures, and the dance is not limited and informal, and is loved by the Latin American nation represented by the enthusiastic and unrestrained culture.

Most people believe that the name MAMBO comes from the name of a sorcerer priest from Haiti, who, according to legend, can make people hallucinate and show unusual enthusiasm and self-satisfaction in the entertainment and even religious activities, the local people named the dance after this name, which represents breaking free from the bondage and letting their hearts come out naturally.

Today, more and more artists and costume designers are applying the sentiments expressed by Mambo to their clothing. The early spring 2024 trend "Peppermint Mambo" is one of the representatives. Here, the word "Mambo" is used to express people's fascination with natural colors, and then express people's yearning for nature when spring comes.

In fact, yearning for nature has appeared frequently in various forms in people's lifestyles in recent years, and more and more people are eager to supplement energy and obtain emotional value from nature. From the forest to the camping craze, from the city walk to the countryside, people are always expressing their enthusiasm for embracing nature in various forms.
