Step into the world of Con Giáp, a celebration of Vietnamese heritage and the art of sustainable fashion. As the first glimpse of this collection graces our stores in Vietnam, it represents more than just a new line of clothing—it embodies our commitment to local craftsmanship, sustainable production, and a conscious connection to our community.

THE INSPIRATION

At the heart of Con Giáp is a story woven through the rich tapestry of the Vietnamese zodiac, where each year is governed by one of twelve animals. This cycle, gifted by the Jade Emperor, shapes destinies and personalities, from the clever Mouse to the indulgent Pig. These creatures inspire our twelve original prints, each paired with a matching solid hue, creating a stunning visual narrative that celebrates both the zodiac and the timeless elegance of Vietnamese design.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Dong Ho paintings, which have captured the simplicity of Vietnamese life for centuries, the prints reflect iconic elements like clouds, parasols, and harvests. Each motif breathes life into the collection, blending heritage with modern artistry.

THE ORGANIC COTTON

At Metiseko, sustainability isn’t just a choice; it’s a philosophy. The organic cotton we use is GOTS certified and sourced from India, where we partner with artisans who uphold the heritage of textile excellence. We remain steadfast in our commitment to environmentally friendly practices by using AZO-free printing, ensuring that each piece is not only beautiful but also crafted with care for the planet.

THE NEW STYLES

With 125 models—75 for women and 50 for men—Con Giáp introduces bold new styles, including kimono-trenches for women, and men’s kimonos. These pieces, inspired by the much-loved COI collection, carry a fresh, modern spirit while staying true to the minimalist elegance Metiseko is known for.

A harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary design, Con Giáp embraces a “less is more” ethos while remaining sleek and refined with subtle influences from sportswear and workwear. Each piece whispers the essence of Vietnamese culture while offering a modern twist that effortlessly transitions through seasons.
