From fabric scraps, eggshells and coconut shells, Nghia Collection creates handcrafted products rooted in Hue culture.

Leftover fabric scraps, after being carefully selected and pieced together, have found a ‘new life’ as unique handmade products. What makes these products more meaningful is that they are made by children at Tam Binh Center for Children with Disabilities (Thuy Xuan Ward, Hue City). The initiative not only helps reduce material waste, but also provides a meaningful vocational learning environment for children with disabilities.

The tourism potential and resources in localities are abundant, and favorable for developing community tourism, and rural agricultural tourism, etc.

From the simple products made by the people of Pho Trach village, over time, the Bang grass (Lepironia articulata) of this Hue countryside has been elevated, becoming a brand not only environmentally friendly but also a way to promote the cultural values of Hue.
