Tran Dang

Vietnam

Hello, my name is Dang Ngoc Huyen Tran, and I'm from the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. My design is inspired by Ben Tre province — a leather handbag uniquely combined with handwoven coconut leaves. Each bag reflects different weaving styles by local artisans and features a coconut shell badge engraved with the Vietnamese flag. All materials are coconut byproducts, making the bag not only eco-friendly but also a way to honor Ben Tre’s beauty and support local livelihoods.
