Woven & Wound Products of Vietnam

HISTORY

Vietnam has a 4,000 year old history of weaving products. Made from bamboo, rattan, other field grasses, sea grass, fern and palm leaves, these products are still made by many households and find many daily uses.

More recently, these products have been made for the export market in factories using some modern mass-manufacturing techniques. Even in  factory production, individual weavers weave one product at  a time from start to completion.   The concession made to mass-manufacturing is to have on hand a ready supply of raw materials.

Many household articles are well known and distinctive.  Some items have been made for the western markets. Woven products are quite diversified, with most articles made from rattan or various species of bamboo.  Each is decorated in a simple but beautiful pattern.  Some are for daily or decorative use, while others are for ritual or labor. 

Whether baskets, mats, hats, platters, boxes, decorative pieces, or wall hangings, these beautiful products will, with minimal care, last for decades and beyond.

The products shown here are made by skilled crafts people who are hard at work keeping their skills alive and passing them on to succeeding generations.  The production quality is high but not to the same, labor-intensive, time-consuming level as demonstrated in tribal basket weaving.

Ideal for gifts or personal use,  these fine handicraft products will only increase in value as the modern world keeps turning to plastics.

Wound and woven products of Vietnam come in various forms, yet each reveals the following distinctive characteristics:

  • Unique breakthroughs in form, curve and sculpture
  • Unique application of decorative patterns
  • Unique colors and use of colored leaves, woods and fabrics
  • A distinctly Vietnamese esthetic element of overall design and function.

We feature only the top craftspeople from the leading factories in Ho Chi Minh City.
