Formoria is a Taiwanese brand discovery and curation platform. It currently starts with a searchable directory of listed brands, bringing together brand information, product highlights, and each brand's own online stores and stockists; content selected by Formoria is labelled separately.

A listed brand meets the directory rules and can be found in the searchable record; listing is not Formoria endorsement, selection, certification, or ranking. A Formoria Selection is a product or content item deliberately chosen for a situation, use, preference, or editorial argument, labelled separately and described for what it is and where to order it from the brand.

No. Formoria owns inspiration, selection, context, and the outbound route; it does not accept orders or process checkout. Brands or retailers remain responsible for price, variants, inventory, checkout, fulfilment, and after-sales service.

A brand qualifies if it was founded, designed, or manufactured in Taiwan — meeting any one of the three is enough. For example, a company founded in Taipei qualifies under 'founded'; a studio that designs products in Taiwan but manufactures overseas qualifies under 'designed'; a workshop producing goods in Yingge qualifies under 'manufactured'. We welcome recommendations from brand owners, fans, and community members alike.

Formoria lists brands with their own products, so we do not list proxy buyers, curated or multi-brand shops without a product line of their own, platforms and retailers, media and review sites, importers of foreign brands, or personal accounts offering only services or digital goods. A curated shop that makes its own product line, or a creator with their own physical products, does qualify.

Anyone can recommend a brand — you do not need to be the owner.

The badge applies only to the product where it appears. Formoria awards it when a fresh official registry record matches that product exactly, or when both automated checks confirm that the product is made in Taiwan and all primary materials come from Taiwan.

Anyone can share a brand through our recommendation form. Go to Recommend a Brand, provide the brand name and an official link, and the Formoria team will review it. There is no fee; we check that the information is complete, the brand exists, and it has a genuine connection to Taiwan.

Brand reviews generally take about 7 business days. We check that the brand exists, the information is complete, and it meets our inclusion criteria. Approved brands then appear in the directory; if information is missing, we may contact the person who recommended it by email.

Formoria collects brand information through community contributions and public sources, and our admin team performs an initial review before a listing goes live. If any brand information is incorrect or outdated, tell us through the correction report on the brand page or the contact details in the footer, and we'll address it promptly.

Yes. Recommending a brand to Formoria is free, and brand owners, fans, and community members are all welcome to help build the Taiwanese brand directory.

Listing review checks that a brand exists and meets our inclusion criteria. Manufacturing signals are separate: MIT Verified is matched to the official MIT Smile registry, while MIT Declared records the scope stated by the brand owner.
