Mekong Quilts Conscious craft for your home. Sustainable change for her future. Empowering Vietnamese & Cambodian rural women for over 20 years.

Mekong Quilts was founded in 2001 as an income generation project under the umbrella of parent NGO, Mekong Plus. We specialise in high-quality, hand-crafted quilts, cushions and accessories. We employ women in communities northeast of Ho Chi Minh City (Duc Linh, Tanh Linh and Ham Thuan Nam in Binh Thuan Province) and Long My in the Mekong Delta. Mekong+ also offers employment opportunities to Cambodian women through a similar project located in the village of Rumdoul, near the Vietnam / Cambodia border. Quilting is perfect as an employment activity, as it requires a small investment to begin with and is labour intensive. Thanh Truong, a Vietnamese dentist in HCMC recognised these qualities and through her passion for quilts, began the programme with just 35 women. The first quilts were sold in the homes of friends. There are now five shops and over 200 women in full time employment. The women receive training, a fair wage and other benefits and work in a safe and comfortable environment. Many of the women who work for the project have doubled their income, which ensures their children remain in school. The women work in groups and each group leader take the products to HCMC once a month when completed. A team in Ho Chi Minh City creates new designs, provides training, the quality checks of all work, provides the fabric... and does the marketing the products worldwide. The quilters are paid once the products pass the quality control inspection. All profits generated from the sale of our products are reinvested into the community through Mekong Plus (NGO): scholarships for children, agricultural training and micro-finance programmes, etc. As a result, not only does your support through the purchase of products help to provide sustainable employment to women but the profits from the sales also benefit the poor communities in which they live. From the start Mekong Quilts has been designed to aim at the highest quality: compete with the best on quality, and not on price with average handicrafts. We are proud to know Mekong Quilts' quality is unmatched not only in Vietnam but also in the region. Customers are happy to buy a quilt at a low price while knowing it would be priced at least 4 times more in Sydney, London or New York. Professional designers from Australia and France, sometimes also from the USA, bring new ideas and to train the 4 Vietnamese designers. There is a wide range of hundreds of designs ranging from contemporary to Asian-inspired designs. There are a variety of quilts to choose from which include different colours and themes.

🌿 ONE MONTH IN OUR NEW HOME – MEKONG QUILTS HANOI

It has now been one month since Mekong Quilts Hanoi found its new home.
One month may not seem like a long time, but it has been enough for this little space to begin creating stories of its own, welcoming visitors, sharing conversations, seeing handmade pieces find new homes, and slowly filling the house with warmth.

Looking back at these beautiful moments from the past month, we feel incredibly grateful and happy. 🌿
Thank you to all our friends who have stopped by, supported us, and shared your kind words and encouragement as we begin this new chapter.

Mekong Quilts Hanoi is here, and we look forward to welcoming you. ❤️

💚 These moments were captured 25 years ago...

As we continue looking back on 25 years of Mekong Quilts, we have received a truly precious gift from Isabelle in Belgium.

She shared with us a collection of photographs taken during her visit to Mekong Plus projects in Bình Thuận and Hậu Giang, where some of the very first women began learning sewing and embroidery, taking their first steps toward building a better future with their own hands.

The photographs may have faded with time, but the smiles, the determination, and the dedication of these women remain as vivid as ever. They remind us of our humble beginnings, when every meaningful change started with a simple stitch.

Twenty-five years have passed. Many of the women in these photographs have become highly skilled artisans, devoted team leaders, or mentors who have passed their craftsmanship on to the next generation.

Our heartfelt thanks to Isabelle for preserving these precious memories and so generously sharing them with us. They are more than photographs, they are a beautiful reminder of a journey shaped by hope, resilience, and the belief that small stitches can create lasting change.

💚 Mekong Quilts – 25 years, from small stitches to lasting change.

AN UNFORGETTABLE EVENING WITH THE MEKONG QUILTS FAMILY
Some moments last only one evening, yet remain in our hearts for years to come.

Our 25th Anniversary Gala was one of those moments.
Twenty-five years ago, Mekong Quilts began with a simple dream: to create sustainable livelihoods for a handful of rural women, giving them the opportunity to earn an income and build a better future for themselves and their families.

Over the years, that dream grew into a community of nearly 500 artisans. Then the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges, forcing many women to put their craft aside in order to find other ways to support their families.

But thanks to the continued support of our customers, partners, and everyone who believed in Mekong Quilts, we have gradually rebuilt. Today, more than 150 artisans are once again creating beautiful handmade products with care, skill, and love, sharing their work with people around the world.

Our Anniversary Gala was not only a celebration of 25 years, but also a heartfelt tribute to every person who has helped shape this journey. Every smile, every embrace, and every round of applause reminded us that behind every handmade piece is a story of resilience, hope, and compassion.

To everyone who has walked alongside Mekong Quilts over the past 25 years, thank you. Your trust, encouragement, and support have made this journey possible.

As we prepare for the 25th anniversary of Mekong Quilts, we have found ourselves deeply moved while looking through the photographs from our earliest days.
They bring us back to 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐨𝐧𝐠, a dentist who returned to her roots in Vietnam from France, carrying with her a deep love for the art of patchwork quilting. Inspired by that passion and a simple dream of creating meaningful work for rural women, she and her friends, including 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐚, 𝐒𝐮𝐞, and many others, patiently shared their skills, stitch by stitch, and introduced the very first quilts to friends and local fairs.
From one simple idea, Mekong Quilts has grown thanks to the kindness, dedication, and support of so many people along the way.
This is just the beginning of our 25-year story. In the coming days, we'll be sharing more memories and the inspiring people who have helped shape this meaningful journey.

💚 An Afternoon of Sharing and Kindness in the Paris Suburbs
Last week, in the warm and welcoming home of Nathalie in the suburbs of Paris, a private concert was held to raise funds for Mekong Plus – Mekong Quilts.

By opening her home to bring people together for a meaningful cause, Nathalie also kindly introduced and sold Mekong Quilts' handcrafted products to her friends and guests.

Every item chosen is more than a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. It also helps create sustainable employment for women from disadvantaged communities in rural Vietnam and Cambodia, empowering them to earn a stable income and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Nathalie, the musicians, and everyone who attended the concert, listened, shared, and supported Mekong Plus – Mekong Quilts.

❤️ From Vietnam, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you for helping us continue this journey of compassion, empowerment, and hope.

KANTHA JACKET: AN ANCIENT HERITAGE REIMAGINED INTO ONE-OF-A-KIND FASHION (Vietnamese below)

Originating from the time-honored craft of hand-stitching in India, Kantha began as a beautiful expression of a woman’s compassion and resourcefulness. By layering and piecing together worn-out fabrics and faded garments, they wove warm quilts and new clothing to shield their families from the cold.

Carrying forward this sustainable spirit of revival, Mekong Quilts introduces Kantha jackets infused with a contemporary breath. From soft cotton fabrics that seemed to have reached the end of their lifecycle, our artisans skillfully layer and meticulously hand-stitch them with characteristic running lines, breathing a second life into every thread.

Each jacket represents a dedicated journey of creativity spanning several days by the women of Mekong Quilts, thoughtfully crafted for art lovers and international travelers. Though these hand-stitched lines may lack the rigid uniformity of industrial machinery, they carry the graceful rhythm of true human devotion; every patch of color is spontaneously yet harmoniously arranged. Together, they blend seamlessly to preserve raw local charm while embracing a chic, modern aesthetic.

Whether paired with dynamic jeans or an elegant minimalist dress, a Kantha jacket allows you to make a statement of aesthetic refinement and environmental responsibility.

As each jacket is entirely unique with only one piece available in the world, Mekong Quilts invites you to visit our store or message us today to find the perfect colors that reflect your own individuality 🧡

ÁO KHOÁC KANTHA: KHI DI SẢN CỔ XƯA ĐƯỢC TIẾP NỐI THÀNH THỜI TRANG ĐỘC BẢN

Khởi nguồn từ nghệ thuật khâu vá thủ công lâu đời tại Ấn Độ, Kantha ban đầu là cách những người phụ nữ gửi gắm lòng trắc ẩn và sự chắt chiu. Họ xếp chồng và chắp vá những lớp vải cũ, vạt áo sờn để dệt nên tấm chăn ấm, manh áo mới bảo vệ gia đình qua những ngày lạnh giá.

Tiếp nối tinh thần "tái sinh" bền vững đó, Mekong Quilts mang đến những chiếc áo khoác Kantha mang đậm hơi thở đương đại. Từ những mảnh vải cotton mềm mại tưởng chừng đã khép lại vòng đời, qua bàn tay khéo léo của các nghệ nhân, chúng được xếp chồng đa lớp và khâu dọc tỉ mỉ bằng những đường kim Kantha đặc trưng.

Mỗi chiếc áo là một hành trình sáng tạo miệt mài suốt nhiều ngày trời của những người phụ nữ tại Mekong Quilts, hướng đến những tâm hồn yêu nghệ thuật và khách du lịch quốc tế. Từng đường kim khâu tay tuy không đều tắp như máy công nghiệp nhưng lại mang theo nhịp điệu uyển chuyển của sự tỉ mỉ; từng mảng màu được phối ngẫu hứng nhưng vô cùng hài hòa. Tất cả hòa quyện để vừa giữ trọn nét mộc mạc bản địa, vừa mang hơi thở thời thượng, hiện đại.

Dù phối cùng một chiếc quần jeans năng động hay một chiếc đầm trơn tinh tế, áo khoác Kantha vẫn giúp bạn khẳng định gu thời trang duy mỹ và có trách nhiệm với môi trường.

Vì mỗi mẫu áo chỉ có một phiên bản duy nhất, Mekong Quilts mời bạn ghé thăm cửa hàng hoặc nhắn tin ngay cho chúng tôi để tìm thấy sắc màu phản chiếu cá tính của riêng bạn nhé 🧡
