Lua is a small independent family business which has been trading for 23 years.
Lua sprang to life in 2000 when we (Emma and Eugene) left our jobs at The British Council and in accountancy and headed off on a life-changing year around the world. We arrived in Vietnam and were deeply impressed by the beautiful and colourful silks, as well as the skills of the local artisans producing clothing and accessories there. Inspired, we soon set to work in the quiet sleepy town that Hoi An was back then, on the enjoyable task of developing hand-made samples of the first Lua products – silk kimonos, tops, simple bags and even boxer shorts!
