Phu Vinh rattan and bamboo craft village (Phu Nghia commune, Chuong My, Hanoi) is one of Vietnam’s most iconic handicraft centers, with more than 400 years of history. The village is renowned for its exquisite weaving techniques that transform natural rattan and bamboo into artistic creations such as portrait weavings, decorative vases, baskets, trays, and furniture.
What sets Phu Vinh apart is the craftsmanship of its artisans—every weave reflects precision, creativity, and a deep connection to tradition.


Phu Vinh is well-known for:
