Drawing from the picturesque beauty of Vietnamese architectural aesthetics, I have carefully selected materials that authentically capture this visual splendor. The use of extremely undyed veg tan leather and sustainable Barktex, derived from cork oak trees, underscores our commitment to sustainability and authenticity. Each piece embodies the spirit of the past while embracing a sustainable vision for the future, ensuring that the legacy of Vietnamese craftsmanship is preserved and celebrated.

To add a modern twist, intricate 3D printed parts are seamlessly integrated into the designs, showcasing our dedication to blending tradition with innovation. While the materials may not originate from Vietnam, they have been chosen with the utmost care to authentically capture the ambience of Vietnamese architectural splendour from that era.

The Echoed Essence collection is also a personal homage, dedicated to my grandfather and the cherished memories of my childhood in his town. It serves as a heartfelt connection to my roots, inviting wearers to experience the timeless elegance of Vietnamese heritage while embracing a conscious approach to design and sustainability.

This collection stands as a tribute to history, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of home, inviting you to immerse yourself in the harmonious blend of ancient traditions and modern design.
