A Unique, Sustainable Souvenir from Ho Chi Minh City
Wear the Beauty of a Custom-Made-to-Fit Ao Dai
The Ao Dai is celebrated across Vietnam for its graceful, figure-hugging silhouette. Especially in southern cities like Ho Chi Minh, Vietnamese women prefer tailor-made Ao Dai, crafted precisely to their measurements, to enhance curves in an elegant and flattering way.
This custom approach is essential—it’s why the modern Ao Dai looks so timeless and refined.
Repurposed Fabric From Custom Orders
At ít ít Việt Nam, we honor this tradition of bespoke craft in our Ao Dai Necklace. Rather than using standard silk, we repurpose leftover fabrics from custom-made Ao Dai orders. Because tailors cut fabric to exact measurements for each individual, there’s a significant surplus of scraps. These remnants are too beautiful to discard, so we’ve given them a second life as handmade necklaces—each a sustainable tribute to Vietnamese craftsmanship.
Singularity in Every Piece
Every necklace tells its own story. We thoughtfully select complementary fabric scraps and join them using a clear resin finish and a tied knot design. Because the combinations of color, pattern, and texture are unique, no two necklaces are ever alike—making each a true one-of-a-kind souvenir from Vietnam.
Versatile Design for Stylish Wear
A key design feature is the silk ribbon knot. Worn at the back, it offers understated elegance; worn at the front, it transforms into a striking focal piece. This versatility allows you to style the necklace based on your mood—whether you’re embracing Ho Chi Minh’s vibrant energy during a day out or dressing up for a special evening.
Ideal for Shopping and Souvenir Hunting
If you’re shopping in Ho Chi Minh for a meaningful souvenir, this necklace is perfect. It’s chic, authentic, and inspired by Vietnamese tradition. Lightweight and easy to carry, it fits beautifully in any travel wardrobe or jewelry box.
By choosing a necklace crafted from upcycled Ao Dai fabric, you’re not just bringing home a beautiful item—you’re supporting sustainable practices and the tailors and artisans who make custom Ao Dai possible, helping preserve Vietnam’s cultural heritage with everyday elegance.
Bring a piece of Vietnam’s rich sewing tradition into your daily life—one handcrafted necklace at a time.
