I am a graphic design graduate from Vietnam who completed my studies in January 2025, with a strong interest in product and fashion design. I enjoy exploring how materials, form, and cultural inspiration can be combined to create meaningful and functional objects. My work focuses on creativity, craftsmanship, and storytelling through design. I am especially interested in experimenting with leather as a material to develop unique and expressive designs that connect tradition with contemporary aesthetics.

ME FLOW – Tamarind Whisper

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Vietnam

ME FLOW – Tamarind Whisper Bucket Bag ME FLOW is inspired by the gentle rhythm of tamarind trees and the quiet stillness of a traditional village well—two familiar elements that embody the essence of rural life. Beneath the shade of tamarind leaves, beside the calm water, everyday moments unfold slowly, naturally, and with meaning. This sense of flow is translated into a cylindrical bucket bag, where the rounded form echoes the shape of a well—symbolizing continuity, depth, and the passage of time. Structured EP leather defines the body, offering strength and durability, while the soft canvas drawstring introduces a contrasting sense of movement and fluidity. Botanical motifs inspired by tamarind leaves and pods are expressed through traditional wax-resist techniques on natural linen, preserving the authenticity of handcrafted culture. The color palette—deep indigo, earthy beige, muted green, and warm brown—reflects the harmony of soil, water, and foliage. A small charm made from recycled eggshell adds a subtle yet meaningful detail. Once fragile and discarded, it is transformed into a durable element, representing renewal and the quiet beauty of transformation. More than a bag, ME FLOW is a story of nature, memory, and material—where the past gently flows into the present through thoughtful design.
