A bit About Lua,

Lua’s aim is to combine UK design with the traditional handicraft skills of Vietnam to provide beautiful products but at an affordable price. All of our bags, purses and our velvet scarves are handmade in small workshops in Vietnam.

Showcasing these textile and embroidery skills and encouraging their survival, provides additional employment for people in rural farming areas of Vietnam (particularly women) and, of course, provides a highly enjoyable lifestyle for our family. Most of our printed and woven scarves are sourced from external producers in China.  We select designs that complement our seasonal colour palettes and themes and are increasing our unique range of in-house scarf designs.

Our inspiration – Nature and Wildlife

We have always been passionate about, and inspired by the natural world; hence many of our designs feature flora and wildlife largely of the UK.

Since 2018 we have supported the work of the UK charity, Rewilding Britain which aims to return large swathes of the UK to its natural state, encouraging the return of wildlife and tackling the extinction crisis.   Many of our designs feature UK wildlife that is under threat due to loss of habitat, and the use of pesticides. A percentage of sales on key ranges are donated each season to Rewilding Britain.

Vietnamese Craftspeople

Our designs are brought to life by our talented team of artisans in Vietnam.  Working mainly with another family business in Vietnam which oversees the making of all our bags and purses, we are hugely fortunate to work with highly experienced technicians and artisans, many of whom have been making Lua products for the last 19 years.
