About Hnin
My name is Hnin Oo Wai. I am from Myanmar and now I live in Switzerland. Let me explain my brand name first. “Luan” means “miss” in Burmese and “Hnin” is my name. It means that I miss my home country.
Yes…… I miss my home country and I love design and creation. That’s why I decided to start my own small business. My small business will include my passion, my creations, my dream and supporting eco-friendly products.
This is the second reason why I decided to run this business in Switzerland. I want to support the reduction of plastic and food waste, the production of fabrics with natural colors, handmade and traditional design.
The third reason why I run this business is that I want to support workers from poor countries so they can have a job opportunity. This is not only for the people in my home country, but also for the workers in other poor countries who also need to find work. I think we need to support job opportunities in poor countries. One person finding work in a poor country can change a lot in their family: less child labor, stability, less hunger, more humanity and more education.
Why are Hnin's products special?
The first product I made fabric that uses the natural coloring process.Pink color main ingredients is Toddy Palm Fruit. To get a grey color made from gooseberry. For white color, no chemical use for pure white. This is a natural cotton white color. This fabric used traditional coats and blankets in Myanmar. These bags are 100% cotton and made in the traditional way. You can choose three colors in these bags.
The second product is a tote bag. It is made at Inle Lake in Myanmar. Inle Lake is famous in Myanmar for its historical sites and rich culture, especially for its rowing boat style. The colors of the tote bags are not naturally dyed. These tote bags are really durable, comfortable and fashionable. You can choose two designs in these bags series.
What will I do in the market?
I will sell all my products in limited edition. That means I will create new designs for each series of products. I will make bags, clothes and some cotton products that can be used in daily life.
I also want to invite organizations and companies to collaborate with me. I can create private designs and products for them. I want to create my own designs and ideas for other organizations and companies.
Sure. I will do my best for you!
