    The lacquer itself is actually the resin of a tree which is mixed with coloured pigments and solvents and applied layer after layer to the object's surface, producing a shiny and durable finish. Eggshell and mother of pearl may be applied to the surface before the lacquer is applied, in which the finished product is sanded down to reveal the decoration beneath. The high quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, notably those of Phu Tho, was a crucial factor in the rapid development of this art form during the feudal period. Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes and trays (1428-1527), may still be seen at many temples and pagodas. In subsequent centuries the use of lacquerware was extended to larger items such as wooden chairs and tables. Since that time lacquerware has continued to develop into one of the mainstays of the Vietnamese handicraft industry, both at home and abroad. Today's most popular items include vases, jewel cases, desk sets, trays and vertical blinds.

    Over the past 10 years, Ginkgo has used locally produced and designed clothing to share Vietnam’s culture with the world. The lifestyle company prides itself on representing the country and its people, especially through its brand signatures. Perhaps Gingko’s most distinct brand signature is its culture-driven design aesthetic. Each design for individual products is inspired by a passion for Vietnam’s culture, from traditional values to depictions of daily life such as vibrant street scenes and iconic landmarks. T-shirts, for example, playfully portray the country’s famously confusing nests of power lines and cables, traffic chaos and café culture. Prominent staples such as grains of rice and Buddha statues are also depicted in homage to two of Vietnam’s foundational themes.
