On the night of the Hoi An festival, hundreds of small, colorful paper lanterns float on the Thu Bon River, creating a path of undulating light. This blouse captures the delicacy of that moment. It is not only a tribute to the festival, it is the feeling of carrying one of those floating lanterns, a small light that dances with you.

Painting with color, drawing with thread

Each lantern is the result of meticulous double work. First, our artisans hand-stamp the color with wooden blocks, creating the luminous base. Then, our embroiderers draw the outline of each lantern with thread and needle, giving them a definition and relief that makes them almost float on the fabric.

The whisper of Dui silk

The soul of this garment is its fabric. Dui silk, a traditional raw silk from Vietnam, is famous for its incredible lightness and subtle sheen. It has a drape that does not impose itself, but rather accompanies, creating an elegant and ethereal silhouette. It is like wearing a whisper of fabric, the perfect canvas for such a beautiful story.
