A river, a canvas, a story—MEKONG is more than a collection; it is a passage through time, weaving together the poetic essence of Vietnam’s most legendary waters with the artistry of two timeless traditions. Inspired by the deep, lacquered beauty of Vietnamese craftsmanship and the narrative elegance of French Toile de Jouy, this collection reinterprets heritage through the luxurious touch of mulberry silk. 

Much like the Mekong River itself—known as the “River of Nine Dragons” as it branches toward the sea—this collection is a confluence of cultures and artistry. Vietnamese lacquer, with its centuries-old luster, reflects a country’s soul through intricate layers of symbolism. Meanwhile, the storytelling fabric of Toile de Jouy, born in 18th-century France, whispers tales of pastoral life through its fine, illustrative motifs. Together, they merge in a celebration of refinement, where silk becomes a vessel for memory, tradition and modern sophistication. Journey with us into MEKONG—a collection where the rhythm of the river, the poetry of lacquer, and the timeless elegance of French design flow as one. 

THE PRINTS OF MEKONG

Each print in the MEKONG collection is a window into a world where art and nature intertwine, where the whispers of the river’s currents echo through silk, and where heritage is woven into every thread. Inspired by the intricate textures of Vietnamese lacquerware and the narrative grace of Toile de Jouy, these four designs encapsulate the soul of the Mekong—its forests, its waters, its people. 

CANOPY: A dance of light and shadow, of earth and sky. FOREST CANOPY and NIGHT CANOPY are twin expressions of the same serene vision: bamboo, a symbol of resilience and grace, etched in delicate silhouettes against the richness of lacquered textures. In FOREST CANOPY, celadon green bamboo sways gently over a backdrop of paon blue twill, evoking the dappled sunlight filtering through the jungle’s embrace. Its nocturnal counterpart, NIGHT CANOPY, transforms the scene into moonlit elegance—opaline white bamboo stretching across obsidian black crepe, where the hush of midnight settles over a sleeping landscape. These prints capture the poetic quietude of Vietnam’s verdant canopies, where tradition meets the untamed beauty of the wild.

REVERIE: A tale of life along the river, drawn with the delicate precision of an artist’s brush. COOL REVERIE and WARM REVERIE are odes to Vietnam’s idyllic countryside, where fishermen cast their nets at dawn, where temple spires rise above swaying palms, and where wooden stilt houses stand as silent witnesses to generations past and present. Rendered in lagoon blue on opaline white twill, COOL REVERIE mirrors the gentle lull of water, the crisp breath of morning, the tranquil simplicity of rural life. In WARM REVERIE, the same pastoral landscape is bathed in burnt ochre on opaline white crepe, echoing the golden warmth of a Mekong sunset—where the river glows amber, and the day’s work melts into an evening of quiet reflection. 

Each of these prints is a love letter to Vietnam—its landscapes, its artisans, its spirit. In MEKONG, silk becomes more than fabric; it becomes a vessel for memory, an homage to the past, and a bridge to the future.
