Linen - Cool breeze of summer day

With its rough, rustic characteristics and neutral color scheme when used to make Buddhist robes, linen brings a rustic beauty to the outfit.

1. Linen is the first textile produced by humans. The oldest linen samples were found in prehistoric caves and are estimated to be over 30,000 years old. In Vietnam, growing flax and weaving has become a popular profession and a unique cultural feature of the Mong people. Weaving a traditional Mong costume from linen can take a whole year because it goes through many complicated stages.

With its rough, rough, and easily wrinkled characteristics, linen is quite picky about the wearer, but anyone who falls in love with this rough, rustic material will surely find it hard to ignore the unique outfits, especially when linen is likened to the cool breeze of a sunny summer day. Linen has very good absorbency, so when designed into an outfit, it will bring the wearer a feeling of comfort and coolness, especially on hot days. That is the biggest plus point of this fabric line. Because it is a natural fabric, people who choose linen often choose neutral colors such as white, black, beige, ... with simple designs as a way to keep the breath of nature intact. It seems that the simplicity from the material to the design will bring calmness, but this fabric creates personality for the wearer when it is "transformed" into culottes and shorts. This design not only brings comfort to the wearer, but also contains a liberal feature, suitable for travel .

With the same raw, rustic material, when combined with outstanding patterns, it inspires designers to create youthful, vibrant dresses that are indispensable on sunny summer days. This fashion model evokes dynamism and comfort for trips with white sand and blue sea.

Linen also brings gentleness and peace to each fabric with rustic, familiar colors, bringing the breath of life. Perhaps that is why linen is chosen by many people to sew Buddhist robes. With neutral colors and characteristic wrinkles and roughness, linen robes create a very unique feature.

2. Those who love linen will certainly accept the disadvantages of this fabric such as wrinkles, creases, easy to damage, easy to fade, etc. Ignoring the disadvantages, linen is definitely the choice for sunny summer days because of its advantages of being cool, absorbent and especially giving the wearer a luxurious, individual look. If combined with embroidered motifs, linen brings a soft, airy look. Perhaps that is why hand-embroidered linen outfits become an endless source of inspiration for designers. It is thought that with its rough, rustic appearance, linen is only suitable for individual designs, but when combined with hand-embroidered motifs, it brings a soft, gentle look and high aesthetic value.

Thanh Huong's fashion products are a harmonious combination of colors and hand-embroidered patterns to bring the wearer a gentle, elegant look.

Having studied and worked in the medical field but not feeling passionate about the job, Thanh Huong (Tan Mai ward, Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province) turned to a new path. Having a passion for handmade products, from a young age, Thanh Huong practiced making hairpins, handkerchiefs and small items.

In 2017, while she had not yet found a new job as she wanted, Thanh Huong started with handmade items such as tablecloths, coasters, photo frames, etc. combined with hand-embroidered motifs. Thanh Huong gradually found joy in her work and moved into the field of hand-embroidered fashion. Up to now, Thanh Huong has created a small business for herself and her colleagues who share the same passion. Thanh Huong said that among the myriad of different designs and materials, hand-embroidered linen still has its own "place".

The customer base of this fashion line often has an artistic soul, loves beauty and appreciates the labor of the embroiderer because hand embroidery requires dexterity, meticulousness, diligence and creativity. The value of hand-embroidered products lies in the emotions, soul and sense of beauty of the embroiderer. Therefore, hand-embroidered products are sold at a high price to cover the cost of the embroiderer.

Instead of approaching customers in the usual way, Thanh Huong chose to tell a story about her products. Stories about linen and hand-embroidered patterns gently conquered even the most demanding customers.

If silk brings gentleness, linen is the material that brings luxury and freedom. On sunny summer days, girls choose linen shirts to feel the rusticity in each fabric and hear the cool breeze coming somewhere./.
