Winter is here
Happy new year to all!
Let’s hope that 2021 will be kinder to everyone and that we, in turn, will be kinder to the earth.
Perhaps still under the spell of the festive season, these winter berries remind of the winters of my childhood, my family and the winter colour my mother would bring in from the garden. I think we are all missing family and friends this year, but as we head into the lead up to TET we have much to be grateful for here in Hanoi and the relative normality within which we live.
Future Traditions has always been about quality not quantity, about ethical practices and about minimising waste, but we all need to do more, do more to use less!
Let’s be mindful of what is happening around us, for those who have lost their livelihoods through the pandemic and let’s live our intentions and not let them languish in forgotten new year’s resolutions.
So as winter well and truly sets into Hanoi, enjoy layering up in hats and scarves and winter coats (my chance to live in my FT silk velvet shawl), enjoy the excitement and atmosphere of Vietnam preparing for TET, but also remember that our community and our environment needs our care and we must take shared responsibility for this.
All the best for 2021

Happy lunar new year
The year of the Buffalo is well and truly upon us. We’re a little late in sending our greetings as we’ve had some tricky access and redirection issues with the website. Fingers crossed these are now resolved, but please let us know if you continue to have any issues.
Last year was incredibly tough for everyone and we have also had to reassess what we are doing and how we will go forward. Our textile producers, tailors, seamstresses and other craftspeople are foremost in our minds and we think we have some exciting things to reveal over the coming months. So stick with us.
We wish everyone a healthy, happy and productive Year of the Buffalo. May it be a year filled with friends, family and laughter.
From the team
