About Unique Hoi An
Hi, I’m Ruth!
Having travelled most of South East Asia, there was something about Vietnam that instantly touched my heart. I knew I had to stay.
I’ve always sewn, initially for my children, then costumes for theatres around Australia.
My passion for ethnic and traditional crafts has grown as I have discovered how truly rich and diverse these ancient techniques are.
My dream is to enable artists and craftspeople with an opportunity to display their skills in a place where everyone can browse and appreciate the work.
I am continually inspired by the beauty and skill displayed in these materials, and hope you are too.
The essence of Hoi An and Vietnam
Unique Hoi An is inspired by the skills and craftsmanship of Vietnamese artists. Fabrics, jewelry, embroidery, batik, ceramics, the Vietnamese
excel in creativity and practicality. Unique Hoi An is an opportunity for these artists to showcase the results of their work.
Bringing Vietnamese ethnic textiles to the world
Unique Hoi An works directly with local Hoi An tailors and H’mong textile crafts people to bring a modern twist to these stunning skills. No factories, no sweatshops, this is ethical and sustainable fashion with a conscience.
