Điệp paper

Điệp paper is a traditional Vietnamese handmade paper crafted from dó tree bark and coated with finely ground seashell powder. This gives the paper its shimmering surface, durability, and excellent color retention. For centuries, it has been used in Đông Hồ and Hàng Trống folk paintings, ancient books, and worship items. Beyond its natural ivory tone, Diep paper can be dyed with natural pigments such as pagoda flower yellow, cinnabar red, or indigo blue, creating vivid, luminous shades. Today, Diep paper is valued not only as a cultural heritage material but also as an inspiration in contemporary design and decoration.
