The face of the moon was in shadow
Almost before we knew it, we had left the ground. All their equipment and instruments are alive.Mist enveloped the ship three hours out from port. The spectacle before us was indeed sublime.A red flair silhouetted the jagged edge of a wing.
The colours of Kymviet
Life is a mosaic of colourful pieces. Brilliant red sits beside pure white, radiant yellow beside soothing blue… Each of us is one piece of that mosaic — with our own character, mission and imperfections — and together we make up this life.

A big picture made of small pieces
Kym Viet is a big, colourful picture made of many small pieces. Founded in December 2013, Kymviet makes handicrafts mainly from fabric: home décor, souvenirs and everyday items. We also offer educational experiences, a café and food service, and event hosting.
“Kym” as in “kim khâu” (sewing needle), “Việt” as in our homeland, Việt Nam. Kym Việt is a humble name carrying a humble wish: to take the pride of Vietnamese handicraft from a small community out to the world.
Understanding that builds
We are people with physical disabilities ourselves, so we deeply understand the longing of people with disabilities to work, to contribute and to be in charge of their own lives.
That is why Kymviet was born: a place that welcomes, trains and employs people with disabilities in small-scale production, in an environment built around their needs.
“We are people with disabilities, but we do not make disabled products.”
Kym Viet products are always safe to use. Every material is carefully selected and fully traceable. Kymviet products have been chosen by the Minister of Planning and Investment as gifts for international partners.
Told by our hands
Kymviet's story is told by the hands and the quiet world of Deaf young women — people with disabilities who want to live a meaningful life.
Every gift, beautiful down to the last stitch, carries refined creativity and the colours of Vietnamese culture — the result of patient craftsmanship, slow hours, hard work and the warm smiles of these Deaf women.
Three things we stand for
- 01
Create jobs for people with disabilities who are able to work, improving the livelihoods of people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups and helping them integrate into the community.
- 02
Make refined handicrafts from local materials that are both useful and beautiful.
- 03
Weave human stories and Vietnamese cultural values into every product, sharing Vietnamese traditions with people at home and abroad.
Community
Together with society, Kymviet wants to build a sustainable, inclusive ecosystem for people with disabilities and other vulnerable communities.
Our friends
Over more than 10 years, devoted friends have stood by Kymviet with practical and moral support — pieces that make our picture so colourful.
