About us

Our Story

Tonkin Handicraft refers to traditional handicraft products originating from the Tonkin region of Vietnam. Tonkin, also known as Đông Kinh in Vietnamese, was a historical region that encompassed parts of present-day northern Vietnam. The region has a rich cultural heritage and is known for its skilled artisans who create a wide variety of handicrafts.

Tonkin handicrafts often showcase intricate craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a deep appreciation for traditional techniques. These handicrafts include items such as seagrass, lacquerware, bamboo, mother of pearl, horn and rattan products, embroidery, pottery, wood carving, seagrass weaving, and traditional textiles.

Our Value

We are highly valued for their artistic value, cultural significance, and the preservation of traditional craftsmanship. They are not only decorative but also functional, often reflecting the local traditions and customs of the region. These handicrafts are admired for their beauty, craftsmanship, and ability to represent the cultural heritage of Tonkin and Vietnam as a whole.
