Blossoming Lantern is a delicate triangle lace shawl inspired by the glowing silk lanterns of Hoi An, Viet Nam. With airy motifs that echo lantern shapes and soft lace expanding from a single point, this shawl captures the feeling of light drifting through twilight. A graceful tribute to beauty, tradition, and quiet moments.

Welcome to Hoi An — where lanterns bloom in the night and light dances on the breeze.
