Some stories are not meant to be framed and hung. Instead, they’re meant to be lived in, walked through, and carried forward. ĐÔNG HỒ is one such story.

With this latest creation, Metiseko extends its ongoing dialogue with Vietnamese heritage into new territory: footwear. Developed in collaboration with ethical shoemaker N’go, ĐÔNG HỒ reimagines the humble slip-on as a contemporary essential—quietly confident, thoughtfully made, and layered with meaning beneath its clean lines.

A CANVAS OF LIVING CULTURE

At the heart of ĐÔNG HỒ are two signature organic-cotton prints, inspired by the lyrical world of Đông Hồ folk woodblock paintings. For centuries, these artworks have captured scenes of everyday life—moments of joy, prosperity, balance, and hope—rendered with simplicity and symbolism.

Translated onto fabric and reinterpreted for the present, these motifs become more than decorative elements. They are echoes of continuity, grounding a modern silhouette in a deep cultural rhythm that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.

DESIGNED FOR THE MODERN RHYTHM

The ĐÔNG HỒ slip-on finds its elegance in restraint. Thoughtful color blocking meets graphic storytelling, creating a shoe that is expressive without being loud. Unisex by design, it slips effortlessly into contemporary wardrobes—whether navigating city streets, creative studios, or slow weekends spent wandering.

This is versatility with intention: distinctive enough to be noticed, understated enough to be worn again and again.

COMFORT, CONSIDERED

Ease is not an afterthought here. It is central to the experience. Lightweight, breathable, and designed for movement, ĐÔNG HỒ is made to follow the natural pace of daily life. From morning errands to long afternoons on your feet, it offers comfort without compromise, proving that practicality and beauty can coexist.

CRAFTED WITH CARE IN VIETNAM

Sustainability is woven into every step. Produced in Vietnam under certified fair and responsible working conditions, ĐÔNG HỒ is manufactured at N’go’s Dai Luc Dong Nai factory. Here, safe labor practices, fair wages, and reduced environmental impact are not just aspirations. They are verified realities, certified by Bureau Veritas.

The collaboration reflects a shared belief between Metiseko and N’go: fashion should feel good on the body, look beautiful in form, and leave a lighter footprint on the planet. It is craftsmanship guided by ethics, and design elevated by responsibility.

MORE THAN A SHOE

ĐÔNG HỒ is not just something you wear. It is Metiseko’s vision made tangible: contemporary design grounded in Vietnamese culture, shaped with intention, and carried forward through thoughtful collaboration.

A pair for modern living—shaped by heritage and made to move with you. 

And so the journey goes…
