A Legacy of Hope
The story of Tân Mỹ is woven into the very fabric of Vietnam’s history. It began in 1969, during a time of war, when Hong’s grandmother, Bạch Thị Ngải, saw beauty and hope in the midst of conflict. She started a small embroidery shop to create handmade gifts that held deep meaning for the people of Hanoi. The shop’s first products were pillowcases and handkerchiefs, often embroidered with personal messages of love and hope for soldiers heading to the battlefield. Since then, these simple items became treasured keepsakes during a difficult time.
This commitment to quality and tradition has been passed down through generations. To ensure the finest quality for customers, each successive owner of Tân Mỹ has had to hone their craft for at least 20 years before taking over the business. Today, the brand has served hundreds of thousands of customers, including royalty, and was even recognized as one of the most beloved brands of 2022.
By joining this class, you are not only learning a traditional craft from a master but also becoming a small part of this incredible, living history.
