Dòng Dòng Sài Gòn: Who are they?
Designed & hand-sewed at a small workshop in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Dòng Dòng aims to create durable and unique recycled bags with high functionality, raising our little voice for the environment.
Dòng Dòng was born at the end of the wet season in Sài Gòn 2019, when a group of three friends witnessed lots of plastic waste as used tarps, torn raincoats and umbrellas. They were then getting serious and trying hard to recycle used materials into new and unique products.
“Dòng Dòng”, in Saigon accent, means “to go around”, which is a way to imagine the life cycle of used tarps from old awnings or truck covers to the unique bags on your shoulder.
