Urban Weave Bag - Plastic Basket Pochette

Vietnamese Heritage, Redefined for the Modern City.

In the vibrant markets and narrow alleys of Ho Chi Minh City, the iconic "plastic basket" is a staple of daily life. Celebrated for being lightweight, durable, and water-resistant, it is the ultimate functional companion. ít ít Việt Nam has reimagined this traditional Vietnamese essential, transforming it into a sophisticated pochette that blends seamlessly into a modern, urban wardrobe.Attention to Detail: Balancing Functionality and Beauty

Thoughtful Design: Where Function Meets Elegance

Guided by our philosophy of "elevating the everyday," we applied a meticulous eye for detail to every curve. This pochette is perfectly sized to hold your essentials—fitting a 500ml bottle or a long wallet with ease.

To add a touch of luxury, we’ve included polished brass feet for stability and a signature metal clasp on the front to securely yet gently hold the lid. Available in a palette of understated, chic colors, it is designed to complement any ensemble with effortless grace.

A Partnership of Trust: The Huyen Family Artisans

Each bag is meticulously hand-woven by the Huyen family, skilled artisans living in the suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City. When we first proposed this modern silhouette, there was hesitation—it was a departure from the baskets they had woven for generations.

However, through countless prototypes and deep conversations, we built a bond of mutual trust. This bag is a proud testament to their traditional craftsmanship meeting our contemporary design vision.

Sustainable Craft: Honoring the Spirit of "Mottainai"

The culture of woven baskets in Vietnam began with the resourceful reuse of materials. ít ít Việt Nam inherits this spirit of "Mottainai" (avoiding waste) by selecting environmentally friendly materials for our weave.

By purchasing directly from our artisans at fair prices, we ensure their incredible skills are preserved and passed down to the next generation. We hope this bag becomes a new cultural icon, loved by the youth in Vietnam and style-conscious individuals worldwide.
