“Touch” is a handbag collection born from the indigo leaf—a modest form of life that carries within it a resilient journey of transformation rooted in Vietnam’s highlands. From its raw green hue, the indigo leaf undergoes a meticulous process of soaking, fermenting, and oxidizing through exposure to air, gradually developing into its signature deep indigo tone. When this technique is applied to leather, each dyeing becomes an experiment. Thus, every bag is not merely a design, but a crystallization of time, transformation, and a tradition reborn through a contemporary language. Indigo on leather is no longer just a color—it becomes a narrative of the endurance of traditional craftsmanship, and of an ongoing journey of experimentation and creativity with the new. The collection transcends aesthetics; it serves as a beginning, an invitation for the viewer to touch and truly feel.
