Every Order
Keeps A Craft – And A Family – At Home

Beyond the products we make, we run two programmes that keep growing every year: community work in the villages we come from, and training the next generation of Vietnamese artisans.

  • Tbc since 2016 Community activities
  • 210+ Artisans in the network
  • 38 Makers with disabilities
  • Mai Châu, Mù Cang Chải Rural communes

The Social Model Is
The Business Model

In rural Vietnam, the usual choice for young people is to leave – for an industrial park or a factory dormitory far from home. Every skill we teach and every order we place gives them another option.

We did not attach a charity to a factory. We built the business around people who could do the work — village artisans with generations of skill, and makers with disabilities for whom patient, precise handwork is a real career.

Community Programmes

Non-profit work with the villages and communities around us – given freely, not tied to any order. Much of it starts with what a textile workshop has plenty of: fabric.

Vocational Training

We train new artisans — young people in rural villages and people with disabilities — until they can earn a full wage from their craft.

Master artisans are paid to teach. Trainees are paid while they learn, and move to full piece rates once their work meets our standard. That is how a craft reaches another generation instead of ending with the last person who knew it.

Crafts We Teach

Hand-sewing and quilting, batik, brocade weaving, crochet, macramé.

Where We Teach

Mai Châu, Mù Cang Chải and our workshop.
