The Pieces

All the Pieces

Each piece below is already finished, made in limited numbers, with fabric gathered from many different sources — combined with the hands that make it, no two pieces are ever quite the same.

Each name is drawn from a material, a color, or a piece of Vietnamese culture — and often, it's also a popular name for Vietnamese women. These are the same names parents choose for their daughters, carrying the hopes and wishes they hold for them, and hinting at the character of whoever wears the piece.
