Keep it long, treasure it long.

Nude color casually

Shapes, colors, and textures that cannot be reproduced by human hands. Natural materials are filled with the mysterious charm that nature creates. The accessories of the buffalo horn (water buffalo horn) produced by L’INDOCHINEUR are also natural items that can be attractive even if they have different expressions due to the power of nature.

Buffalo horn strength and beauty

Buffalo, which has been widely inhabited in Asia since ancient times, has been prized in Vietnam. Due to its high strength, Buffalo Horn is used as a material for everyday tools such as cutlery. On the other hand, it is said that special technology is required to add beauty to the Buffalo Horn, and there is a history that this technology has been passed down for generations in the villages of North Vietnam.

The buffalo horn accessories made by L'INDOCHINEUR combine the techniques of Vietnamese artisans to create a beautiful buffalo horn accessory. I am surprised that the process takes several months for one product.

First, the quality of the horn is identified and classified by application. After natural drying, the density is increased by cutting and pressing. After cutting again, the steps of heating, molding, and polishing are taken, and finally it becomes a product. The long-standing symbolic technology is also used for painting on the way. Resin collected in northern Vietnam is hardened with fresh air and sunlight to form a transparent lacquer, which is then applied thinly to the product. After that, soft sanding (polishing) is applied to create a beautiful color that shines.

Horn circle earrings are earrings with a round motif. The white motif is the same as the material, the pattern part is a white buffalo horn that is the base, pasted with an oval or triangular mold, dyed from the top, peeled off the mold and polished. Earrings that can be worn both in everyday clothes and when you want to go out in style. While enjoying the material, the unique design is beautiful. Not only in the summer when the skin appears, but also in the winter when it is selected according to the wool material.

Transfer Vietnamese natural ingredients

L'INDOCHINEUR started in Vietnam in 2002. Originally in Vietnam, cutlery such as spoons and forks using strong and durable buffalo horns have been traditionally made. Charles COUTRIS, a Frenchman who visited Vietnam, was impressed by the extraordinary skills of craftsmen and started from the desire to spread their attitude toward craftsmanship, craftsmanship, and rich natural materials. What I did is L'INDOCHINEUR.

L'INDOCHINEUR, which deals with fair trade and environmental issues, asks Vietnamese craftsmen to work and support their lives and culture. In a limited area of ​​North Vietnam, while paying homage to the techniques that have been passed down for generations, the addition of the French design creates items that enrich the modern life.
