Every month, on the night of the full moon, the ancient city of Hội An turns off its electric lights and is illuminated solely by the magic of thousands of silk lanterns. This shirt is a tribute to that moment, a piece of that magical night that you can carry with you. It is not a garment, it is a luminous memory.

A Dance of Ink and Thread

Creating each lantern is a ritual of double craftsmanship. First, our artists hand-paint the shapes of the lanterns onto the linen, using the traditional block printing technique. But the magic doesn't end there. Next, our embroiderers trace the outline of each lantern by hand, giving them a definition, a relief, and a life that no machine could achieve.

A Natural Linen Canvas

Linen is the perfect canvas for this story. Its natural texture and incredible lightness evoke the simplicity and beauty of Vietnamese craftsmanship. Its one-size-fits-all cut creates a fluid and relaxed silhouette, as comfortable and elegant as a stroll along the banks of the Thu Bồn River under the light of the lanterns.
