Founded in Los Angeles in 1996 by Vietnamese-born designer Chan Luu, the brand preserves traditional handicrafts through a considered approach to design.. Now under the creative direction of Tessa Tran, Chan Luu creates jewelry, ready-to-wear, and accessories that reinterpret artisan techniques with a modern sensibility. Every piece connects the wearer to a lineage of artisan skill and is created with integrity, longevity, and beauty in mind. Chan Luu's aesthetic finds beauty in juxtaposition—an interplay between ornament and restraint, softness and structure, the raw and the refined.
