PROJECT INFO

This collection includes eight leather charms, each one was inspired by a different Vietnamese folktale. Rooted in traditional oral storytelling, every piece captures the essence of these ancient stories in which we see ancestors, nature, and spiritual beliefs come together. What makes this project distinctive is its use hand-stitched vegan leather as a modern and contemporary ways of expressing Vietnamese identity. Instead of being conveyed through words or images, Vietnamese folktales are brought to life as small leather charms that retain cultural heritage whilst serving practical purposes, such as keychains or bag accessories.
