Silk

Last year, Vietnam produced 680 metric tonnes of silk making it one of the world’s largest producers of the product. Once you visit the nation on your Jewish travel during the holidays, do not forget to bring home silk and silk-related products from various Vietnamese markets. Try to check out silk markets in Hanoi where you can find traditional Viet heirloom. 

Other unique silk-related products you can take home with you are silk paintings. Inherited since the ancient Vietnamese times, these paintings are known for their poetic themes that could usually be seen on wall hangings, scarfs, and traditional dresses (Ao Dai).

Vietnamese Embroidery

Vietnamese embroidery has withstood modernity and still very relevant today. Although largely influenced by ancient Chinese techniques, this art form has been interwoven with Vietnamese artistry and culture since the days of yonder. 

Ceramic and Lacquerware

Another iconic souvenirs you can bring home from Vietnam are ceramic products. When you visit Viet flea markets, you’ll be amazed by the wide range of ceramic vases, plates, and cups. The quality of these products are known for its durability and aesthetics due to its traditional handcrafting process that has been passed from generation to generation.

Derived from the sơn tree, Vietnamese lacquerware first occurred as a collaboration of French teachers and Vietnamese during the 1930s. Lacquer-painted products go through twenty stages of development which assures its quality and artistry. Bring home beautiful lacquer-crafted dishes, bowls, vases, and more in beautiful colors and intricate designs on your home during your Vietnamese adventure.

Bamboo and Wooden Products

Vietnamese people are nothing short of artistry. Along with ceramics and silk, bring home bamboo and wooden products from the country. Intricately-made products like salad bowls, trays, and baskets are specialties by Vietnamese people that you shouldn’t miss. Having these eco-friendly products are a must-have for travelers who want a piece of eco-art with them.

Other than these products, Vietnam has so much to offer - luscious gastronomy, unique cultural heritage, and awe-inspiring historical landmarks. The great South-East Asian nation is best experienced through an enjoyable kosher river cruise along the serene Mekong River. Interested? Send us a message.
