OUR FAMILY · OUR ROOTS

Behind every stitch,
a family story.

A craft passed down through four generations

We grew up in Van Lam, a village in Tam Coc known for its embroidery tradition. In our family, hand embroidery has been passed from one generation to the next. It is part of everyday life — not just something displayed for visitors.

My mother has spent more than 50 years working with needle and thread. Today, our family welcomes travelers to see the craft up close, try it for themselves and share a little time together.

Come curious.
Leave with a smile.

No perfect stitches required. These are real moments from our family workshop.

A LIVING TRADITION

A little piece of Van Lam, shared with you.

Van Lam's hand-embroidery heritage goes back centuries. We want this craft to stay alive not only in finished artworks, but through conversations, laughter and the simple act of learning a stitch together.
