In Sài Gòn, the sight of people lighting up their own fireworks is rare. However, upon returning to Cam Ranh, especially in the days leading up to and during Tet, the evenings come alive with the sounds and sights of fireworks. This coastal area, home to the seafood and fishing industries, believes that the noise and light will dispel negativity, bringing peace and luck to families and ensuring safe sea journeys." - Khuyên Lại (Kaarem Studio Director, Designer)

The name ""Sung"" carries dual meanings, representing both a type of fruit (fig) and an integral part of a prayer. This dress embodies numerous messages and well-wishes. During Lunar New Year, fruits are intentionally combined to convey specific prayers: a wish for abundance (soursop), fairness (coconut), sufficiency (papaya), and utility (mango). Additionally, ""Sung"" is paired with other terms to symbolize concepts of 'prosperity' and 'fulfillment.'

The dress takes inspiration from the Pháo Đất (Clay firecracker), a folk tradition steeped in superstition. Its shape reflects the practice of enclosing a pocket of air between two large slabs of clay, surrounded by a lengthy singular clay coil. This clay pocket, when thrown to the ground, produces an explosive sound upon bursting open. The louder the noise and the longer the intact coil, the more favorable the weather, promising a bountiful crop and a prosperous life.

Featuring a neck tie accent, this dress offers versatile styling options. The high side slit adds a dynamic touch to the overall design.

We found inspiration from the Thuỷ Triều Mango tree, which was named by the local people because it's widely grown on the edge of Thuỷ Triều lagoon in Cam Ranh Bay.

As a perennial plant, the tree grows strongly in sunny, windy, and sandy areas, with few storms due to the shelter of the bay, and has overcome many droughts to continue to bear abundant fruit. Therefore, the fruit always has the rich sweetness of the sea and the bright yellow color of the sun when ripe

More than 100 years ago, the French came to Vietnam and brought with them mangos originating from India. From then, they're sprouted and developed over time. Up to now, Thuy Trieu Mango is considered a natural fruit, but is rarely developed commercially, becoming a small gift to share with friends and neighbors.
