CẤT VÓ

Category: Accessories

Inspired by the traditional Vietnamese fishing lift net from the Mekong Delta, Cất Vó is a contemporary fashion accessory that beautifully preserves and shares the country's rich cultural heritage. The overall silhouette of the handbag interprets the net's wide, funnel-shaped form into its body, while two curved, hand-bent natural bamboo handles mimic the net's stretched frame. These functional handles can fold flat or rotate 90 degrees via a detachable metal ring system to closely resemble a real lift net. Handcrafted from premium Italian vegetable-tanned leather, the bag's body features hand-carved fish motifs and hand-dyed color gradients that replicate the three-dimensional texture of rippling water. The opening utilizes a unique leather-cutting technique to create wave-shaped flaps around a fish-shaped charm, making the fish appear to leap out of the water whenever the bag is opened. Inside, the spacious interior easily accommodates everyday essentials like a phone, wallet, and cosmetics, and is completed with natural leather business card holders decorated with matching hand-dyed fish motifs. Beyond its practical use, every element of Cất Vó—from its meticulous craftsmanship and organic materials to its unified storytelling of Vietnam's river culture—balances functionality with cultural identity, offering a meaningful, timeless expression where traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design harmoniously come together.
