Environmental responsibility and sustainability are also central themes in Hientje Nguyen’s handbag collection. She utilized eco-friendly materials and trendy color combinations to complement Quynh Paris’s áo dài designs. In addition to using sustainable materials, she adopted innovative production methods, including creating natural bag structures without relying on foam, plastic fillers, or other synthetic stuffing materials. She also minimized the use of metal decorations, opting instead for metallic-finish leather accents that provide visual appeal while remaining aligned with her environmentally conscious philosophy.
Hientje Nguyen expressed her happiness at seeing models confidently showcase her designs on the runway. She described the opportunity to collaborate with Quynh Paris as a memorable milestone, noting that Quynh Paris has long been one of her inspirations.
