High quality rattan, bamboo and sedge products made by hand in Vietnam  

We are delighted to introduce to you our Artisan partners who work with rattan, bamboo, sedges, and seagrass to create traditional and contemporary products of the highest quality.

Many villages across Vietnam have nurtured and maintained the 400 year old tradition and skill of weaving natural fibers to create stunning décor, accessories and jewelry.

As the story goes, centuries ago, there was also an abundance of storks. The birds also shed a lot of feathers. The Artisans gathered the feathers and used them to weave baskets and hats for themselves or as gifts for friends. These products became popular very quickly and were in great demand. Gradually, the Artisans didn’t have enough feathers to work with, so they looked for other materials such as sedges and reeds that grow in the fields. They also went into the forest to find flexible materials such as bamboo or rattan.

Over time, many new materials have been added, designs have been enhanced and new techniques have been developed.

Over the years, Au Lac Designs has developed a lovely collection of useful and decorative items in partnership with these Artisan workshops.
