How We Create

VALÉ BY DORIS DUONG — VAN LANG UNIVERSITY

01

Materials

Every fabric at VALÉ is chosen by hand.

02

Process

Every piece is created from start to finish: fabric treatment, pattern making, sewing and embellishment. The scar embroidery technique — our signature — takes between 80 and 120 hours per piece. No two pieces are ever identical.

“Every purchase supports a student’s dream.”

“Mỗi lần mua hàng là hỗ trợ ước mơ của một sinh viên.”


VALÉ was born as a student project at Van Lang University, Ho Chi Minh City. Doris Duong began designing these pieces while still studying fashion design. Every purchase directly supports a young Vietnamese designer building her vision, one stitch at a time. Thank you for being part of this story.
