This past April, the entire Vietnamese nation was filled with solemnity, reverence, and immense pride as we commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (1975–2025). From the majestic parades to the red flags flying proudly across every street, all corners of the country came together to honor this golden milestone in history with heartfelt gratitude.
Amid this wave of national pride, Maries was honored to stand alongside thousands of Vietnamese customers, offering a handcrafted collection made from Lepironia Grass – proudly featuring the Red Flag with a Yellow Star. More than fashion, these items became living symbols of patriotism and the resilient Vietnamese spirit rooted in heritage.
🇻🇳 Crafted in Vietnam – Weaving National Spirit into Every Piece
Proud to be a Vietnamese brand with a mission to support local craftswomen in rural villages, Maries chooses Lepironia Grass – a time-honored material from the Mekong Delta – to create the Red Flag with Yellow Star Collection, a heartfelt tribute that intertwines patriotic pride with local cultural values.
-
Lepironia Grass Hats: Carefully handwoven and adorned with a bold yellow star. A simple hat, but once worn, it speaks volumes: I am Vietnamese.
-
Lepironia Grass Bags: Available in various styles – handbags, crossbody, and tote bags – all decorated with hand-painted flag motifs using safe, non-fading acrylic colors. The rustic weave preserves the essence of Vietnam in every detail.
-
Bag Charms: Small but powerful – each charm is crafted from hand-dyed Lepironia Grass in the iconic red and yellow of the national flag, serving as a compact expression of Vietnamese pride.
Each piece is 100% handcrafted by the meticulous hands of artisans in Huế, the heart of Vietnamese craftsmanship. These are not just accessories – they are carriers of tradition, of national love woven into every strand, worn on your head, hung on your bag, and carried with pride.
