Maypaperflower is inherited and inspired by the traditional craft village of Thanh Tien paper flowers, which are more than 300 years of age in Hue City, Vietnam. However, seeing that the conventional products of the village are losing their value because of the lack of innovation and advancing in products, Maypaperflower wants to offer more creative art pieces that perfectly combine both the traditional technique and modern demand, therefore creating more attractive products that best fit the customers’ changing needs nowadays. Our products include pictures, frames, flower bouquets, and fashion accessories, all are made from 100% paper.
