On December 23, 2025, Maries was officially honored with the City-Level Outstanding Rural Industrial Product Award 2025, within the framework of the Ceremony honoring People’s Artisans, Meritorious Artisans, and Hue Artisans.
This milestone is significant not only for Maries, but also for the artisans, farmers, and rural women who have accompanied the brand throughout its journey of growth rooted in traditional craft villages.
The Outstanding Rural Industrial Product Award – Recognition of Sustainable Value
The Outstanding Rural Industrial Product certification is awarded to products that meet multiple criteria simultaneously, including quality, functionality, aesthetics, socio-economic impact, and contribution to sustainable rural development.
Being recognized at the city level demonstrates that Maries’ Lepironia (cỏ bàng) handicraft products not only meet production standards, but also clearly reflect the role of handicraft enterprises in the broader picture of local economic development—where rural areas are no longer seen as “underdeveloped zones,” but as vital cultural and economic resources.
For Maries, this award affirms that a development path grounded in local materials, traditional craftsmanship, and rural communities can truly create products of lasting value with a solid position in the market.
Maries and Its Community Contributions Recognized Through the Award
From the very beginning, Maries chose a path that is not easy:
placing rural communities at the core, people at the center, and sustainability as a long-term goal.
Along this journey, Maries has focused on:
-
Creating stable livelihoods for farmers, artisans, and rural women through Lepironia-based handicraft production
-
Preserving and enhancing traditional weaving techniques while integrating contemporary design and visual arts to elevate product value
-
Bringing rural products into modern living spaces, tourism, hospitality, and gift markets through authentic quality and cultural storytelling
For Maries, the happiness of doing business is not measured solely by revenue figures.
It lies in seeing the value of artisans’ labor acknowledged, the lives of craft workers improved day by day, and rural products appreciated for their true worth.
The Outstanding Rural Industrial Product Award 2025 is therefore more than a title.
It is a recognition of a community-centered development model, where enterprises, artisans, and local communities grow together and share the benefits.
Maries extends its sincere congratulations to the Hue Artisans honored on this occasion, and expresses deep appreciation to the enterprises that have chosen rural products and rural people as the foundation for long-term commitment and development.
For Maries, this is not an endpoint.
It is the motivation to continue on the chosen path—a little more challenging, a little slower, but in the right direction, sustainable, and deeply meaningful. 🌱
