NON LA - A 3000-YEAR LEGACY OF GRACE
Thursday, May 29, 2025
Written by BEN TO THE SON
For over three millennia, the nón lá has stood as a lasting symbol of Vietnamese life, worn by farmers in the fields, vendors in bustling markets, and coastal communities shielding themselves from the sun and sea breeze.
Lightweight, protective, and beautifully handcrafted, it is more than just headwear, it is heritage. From daily utility to traditional attire and modern fashion, the nón lá continues to shape Vietnam’s cultural and stylistic identity.
