Product Description

These beautiful Vietnamese silk lanterns are a wonderful way to decorate a home or event. They are made by hand from finely woven silk and bamboo using techniques invented long ago. They collapse into a tube for easy shipping and convenient storage. Simply pull up on the metal wire to expand the lantern into its shape. We guarantee that you will love your lantern. Lighting kits can be purchased seperately on Amazon to enjoy your lantern in the evening. Amazon item # B0030GY3EU works very well with this style of lantern http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030GY3EU (lighting kits with large plugs will not fit through the top of the lantern) The home of these Vietnamese silk lanterns is Hoi An, south of Vietnam (just 28 km to the Southeast of Danang City.) Hoi An is a world cultural heritage site and was one of the major trading centers of Southeast Asia in the 16-17th century. Merchant boats from Arabian countries and China came to Hoi An to trade. Hoi An has long been a cultural crossroads where Japanese, Chinese, Dutch, Indian traders set up their emporiums or established their own quarters for permanent habitation. Today, this enchanting town is a living museum dedicated to the past. We are proud to be a member of the Fair Trade Federation in Washington, DC. When you buy from us you can be sure that the artists who created your artwork have been compensated fairly for their work.

I ordered this lantern to brighten a slightly dark corner of my apartment, I'm thrilled with how lovely it looks, a gorgeous rich gold color and beautifully made, I just posted a pic on facebook!!!!

Useful tip from the seller, use christmas lights inside the lantern to illuminate, never would have thought of that and it looks fantastic.

Highly recommend the seller and the product.

Being somewhat skeptical when I ordered this item, I was very very pleased when it arrived a few days later. The quality of this lantern is like none other. I've owned these in the past and they were always flimsy and cheap. Can't say that about this lantern. It is silk and it appears to be very durable. The picture is close to what it looks like but the real lantern is much more vivid in color. Made in Vietnam does not mean cheap merchandise. This is a quality item and I highly recommend it if you want authentic items for your home. I will be ordering more in the near future!

The one that arrived here was broken, and opened up lopsided. I kept it because I like the colors in my apartment, however, if you want the full effect, all I can say is you will pay more. It makes a great curtain ornmament. Other than that, well, you know.
