Most of the raw materials he uses are environmentally friendly material and ethically sourced silk. Some designs are even made from excess fabric, minimising waste discarded into the environment, Vietnamnet reported.
Sewing production is almost exclusively done by hand, reaching an advanced level that minimises the use of machines. Organza is Hung’s signature material of choice, which makes his brand unique in Vietnam.
