'' KOROH ESSENCE''
Category: Accessories
Competitions: Vietnam
" KOROH ESSENCE This design draws direct inspiration from the structure of the Koroh—a traditional basket of the Xơ Đăng people in Gia Lai, Vietnam. Deeply rooted in the laboring life and the masterful weaving artistry of the Northern Central Highlands, the Koroh is more than a utility; it is a lifelong companion carrying the warmth of the fields and the heartbeat of the village upon one’s shoulders. By reimagining this silhouette, I aim to share a rustic cultural narrative while meaningfully supporting traditional craft villages and honoring ethnic identities. It is my hope that through this design, the hidden beauties of the great highlands will find a new, more contemporary vitality, allowing everyone who touches this piece to feel the breath of the plateau and a profound sense of pride in their own culture and heritage."
