Greetings from Tapusilk,
Tapusilk is dedicated to crafting high quality silk threads into outstanding products, and is the brainchild of founder Đỗ Tâm. Tapusilk draws inspiration from Mother Nature, the meticulous finesse of traditional craftsmanship, and the pride in the cultural heritage of the Vietnamese people. Tapusilk follows the philosophy that 'Simplicity is the pinnacle of refinement', honoring simplicity, elegance, and quality.
Tapusilk's silk fabric is carefully made from select mulberry leaves and silkworms of a high standard. This is combined with the unique hand-weaving technique of hundreds of artisans in a traditional craft village with a history of nearly 500 years, such as Nam Cao silk-weaving village in Thái Bình. Nam Cao is the only village in Vietnam that still continues the tradition of manually pulling silk threads.
Moreover, Tapusilk is built on a strong foundation of inheritance from the great master, Mr. Nguyễn Đình Đại, who is an artisan in the traditional craft of weaving silk. He has accumulated years of experience in exporting millions of meters of high-quality fabric to discerning international markets like France, Japan, Thailand, Laos, and more. Hence, Tapusilk is always confident in delivering high-quality products that preserve the natural, understated beauty, incorporating neutral and sophisticated colors, allowing each product to carry its own unique essence and reflect the style and soul of the wearer."

WORDLESS LOVE
Half a century has passed, with over 12 years intimately connected to work, living in silk and being influenced by the artisan Nguyễn Đình Đại in the traditional silk-weaving village of Nam Cao, Kiến Xương, Thái Bình.
I fell in love!!! A true love that has been growing over the years. Until now, silk has become an indispensable part of my life. This love cannot be described by any words, nor can any time fade it.
Every time I hear the rhythmic sound of the loom, the clicking of the spinning wheel, the gentle sound of hands immersed in a basin of cold water on a winter afternoon carefully pulling each silk thread, everything is filled with peaceful emotions that even the noise of work cannot diminish.
Behind that stillness are people with strong and warm inner selves. And every time they express passion for their craft, dedicate themselves to their work with skillful hands, they create handmade products that are not only precious but also an expression of their deep love for each product. This is demonstrated through decades of work. From those with 5 or 10 years of experience to those with 50 years of creativity, and even those who can't remember when they became submerged in their craft, just the sound of the loom has woven them into the life of the silk-weaving industry since they were in their mother's womb."
THE TRUE VALUE
Particularly, after the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has awakened, and people are gradually embracing digital thinking, focusing on the quality of life, living in harmony with nature, and prioritizing health. One will no longer see many individuals flaunting large brand logos or flashy symbols on their clothing. Instead, the emphasis is on meticulously crafted garments with intricate stitching, natural breathable materials that are environmentally friendly, and elegant neutral color palettes... all centered around intrinsic values, true worth. Moreover, from a different perspective, the Vietnamese silk industry is not only an industry but also a part of culture, the soul of the nation. Each Vietnamese citizen has the responsibility to preserve and develop our cultural heritage through action. This very notion has propelled Tâm Đỗ to establish tapusilk, determined to contribute to a more complete green life with the motto 'Wear Green.' We are committed to providing our customers, both domestically and internationally, with premium silk products, avoiding mixtures and substandard silk. This commitment is a demonstration of our deep respect and immense love for silk and pride in our homeland, Vietnam.
Let's together enjoy the wonderful experience with tapusilk. Let's 'Wear Green' and explore this rare material bestowed upon our Vietnam by Mother Nature. Let's together promote this fiber that has been dubbed the 'Queen of all Fibers' in the textile industry for thousands of years, to celebrate the natural beauty and elevate your style to new heights.
