Representing Maries at the event was \u00dd Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng<\/strong>, a hand-painting artist from the company\u2019s creative team.

Her growth\u2014from a solid artistic foundation to a modern design mindset\u2014has helped \u00dd Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng become an essential part of the Maries creative team today. During the event, she represented the company in receiving the University\u2019s Letter of Appreciation<\/strong>\u2014a moment symbolizing the meeting of two journeys: the school\u2019s mission of nurturing talent and Maries\u2019 commitment to supporting and elevating that talent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maries was founded on the spirit of preserving Hue\u2019s cultural identity through the hands of local artisans\u2014but preservation alone has never been our destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why Maries continually prioritizes collaboration and creates opportunities for young talents from this very university. Sponsoring the Freshmen Welcome Day is more than material support; it is a message:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVietnamese art will go further when young people are given opportunities, guidance, and trust.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Through various training programs\u2014ranging from weaving Lepironia grass and material processing to hand-painting\u2014Maries provides an environment where young creators can learn, practice, and witness their artistic ideas turn into real products. Every young person who joins Maries carries not only skills, but also fresh, bold, and ambitious energy\u2014the very force that helps traditional crafts renew themselves day by day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking back at the event, we believe more than ever that:<\/span><\/p>\n
