About Tan My - 

Four generations of Hanoi's finest silk & embroidery tradition.

Tradition is preserved throughout 4 generations for high quality hand embroidery products; Tan My is the destination for beautiful hand-embroidered fashion.The special quality of Tan My embroidery products is all done by hand, by a team of highly skilled artisans working exclusively for Tan My to ensure the best quality of embroidery pieces.

Started from the difficult times of the war in Vietnam with handkerchiefs embroidered to address the love words of the girls sent to their boyfriends, husbands who were the the soldiers carrying with them to the battle field. In 1969, the business started by Madam Bach Thi Ngai Ngai at 66 Hang Gai and expanded from pillow cases and embroidered towels to clothing, bed linens, table linens, mattresses and laundry bags, etc.

In the heart of Hanoi's Old Quarter, on the old famous Silk Street of Hang Gai, there are two shops that bear the name Tan My, meaning "New Beauty." The original shop is at number 66, and its newer cousin at number 61. In many ways they tell the story of women in Vietnam, their place in the country's history and the fondness with which Vietnamese women are regarded.
