A fragment of heritage, worn as presence.

This vintage handwoven collar, sourced in Hà Nội, is a rare and poetic artifact of Vietnam’s textile legacy. Made from natural hemp and dyed in a rich, soft black, it showcases intricate pleating and hand-finished stitching — each detail bearing the quiet mastery of timeworn craft.

Originally part of traditional Hmong ceremonial wear, this sculptural collar transforms the everyday garment into something layered with meaning. The sturdy yet supple hemp, known for its breathability and texture, ages beautifully and tells its own story through subtle irregularities and a natural patina.

Drape it over silks, crisp shirting, or bare shoulders — it offers a striking contrast, grounded in authenticity and elegance.

Cultural Note:
This collar originates from Northern Vietnam’s Hmong communities, where hemp is hand-grown, woven, and dyed using time-honored techniques passed through generations. Each piece reflects the rhythm of slow craftsmanship and communal heritage.
