RambutanVietnam

We are a small team; part British, part Vietnamese, based in Hanoi, North Vietnam.

Myself personally having a passion for the rare, the ancient, unique and genuine. As a collector of South East Asian art, offering one off items from my collection.

All the antique and vintage items in store have come from my personal collection. I only deal In genuine pieces acquired from trusted and knowledgeable fellow collectors. Remaining within fields I can confidently authenticate and classify. Early Vietnamese pottery, French colonial era, bronze and stone age history, tribal art.

Preserving dying arts and crafts of the tribes people and artisans of Vietnam. We hope in our own small way it can help to keep alive some of the traditions and crafts of these enduring people.

We support a number of elderly ladies of the Hmong and Yao tribes, and our jewelry maker of the Black Hmong.

In terms of the tribal clothing and fabrics, the materials we use are hand produced, using traditional methods, and sourced from predominantly the Hmong and Yao ethnic groups of Northern Vietnam. We visit the small hamlets and villages of these rural areas to insure we are buying authentic materials and old pieces. Buying in this way we can also be sure the full and fair price is going directly to the producer and back in to these impoverished communities.

We have been operating on Etsy since 2014 with a fantastic record for customer service and satisfaction :)
