When asked, “Which Vietnamese handicrafts fascinate international visitors the most?” Google’s AI Overview offers a list that reads like a cultural map of Vietnam: Bat Trang ceramics, pure silk, bamboo and rattan weaving, woodwork, leather goods, hand embroidery, and sand paintings. These are not just objects of beauty; they are expressions of heritage and human artistry, carried home as meaningful souvenirs that reflect the depth of Vietnamese craftsmanship.

The Evolution of Vietnamese Craftsmanship

Just a few years ago, it was still rare to find rattan craft elevated with refined accents of leather or wood, especially in fashion and interior decor. Many Vietnamese workshops focused primarily on subcontracting for international brands, reproducing existing designs rather than shaping new identities of their own. But the landscape has shifted. Today, Vietnamese brands are stepping forward, becoming notable names in both domestic and international markets. Their products take longer to make, yet that slowness is precisely why they carry greater value—because they embody originality, enduring beauty, and the grace of time.

Neyuh's Rattan Mini Bag: A Fusion of Craft and Elegance

Among the standout examples is the Neyuh Rattan Mini Bag from Neyuh Leather. Within this small, meticulously crafted piece lies the work of artisans from Chuong My (Hanoi), who have inherited generations of bamboo and rattan weaving techniques, combined with the leathercraft expertise of Gallery de Neyuh’s workshop in Saigon. Together, they create a handcrafted rattan bag that feels less like an accessory and more like an experience of Vietnamese artisanal excellence.

The newest colorways—violet blue, soft nude, and urban grey—introduce a refreshing palette to a timeless craft. Now available at Gallery de Neyuh, each bag can be purchased ready-made or ordered through the Advance Order option. With this program, customers receive their rattan bag after 30 days and enjoy an exclusive 8% reward from NEYUH Leather.
