許多漂亮、有現代感的客家創意服飾並不被現今客家人認同為「客家」，顯示族群織品服飾的創新設計，並不只是有沒有美化和商品化的問題，更是文化表達和族群認同的問題。本文藉由文獻資料分析法挑選出客家創意服飾常使用的客家元素和設計表現方式，將其編製成問卷，以了解受測者對這些元素的認同程度，並進一步分析非客人、一般客家人與客家文化專家對這些要素認知的異同情形。研究結果發現客家人看重客家傳統服飾原有元素運用更甚於牡丹花布、油桐花等新元素。有客家專業背景的受測者傾向創造在地客家新形象，而不強調中原淵源。

Many beautiful, modern Hakka creative clothing had not been recognized as "Hakka" by the Hakka people of today. It shows that the innovative design of ethnic dress is not merely beautification and commercialization issues, but the issues about cultural expressions and ethnic identity. Through documentary analysis, this paper selected the Hakka elements and design performance that usually use in Hakka creative clothing to construct a questionnaire, in order to explore the participants’ identification degree of these elements. Furthermore, this study compared the difference of identification degree between the non-Hakka people, Hakka people, and Hakka culture experts. The results of this study found that Hakka people tended to give higher ratings to the original elements of Hakka traditional clothing than the new elements such as Tung-Flower and Hakka Floral Fabric. And Hakka culture experts tend to link the Hakka specifically to Taiwan and their place here rather than stressing only their ancestral connection to the Central Plains.
