The Jacket That Couldn’t Be Made Twice

| Hương

The only item made from cotton in our shop is now gone – just like that. After being listed online for a while, a customer from Australia snapped it up.

We can’t make another one. This piece started with a single length of 5 meters of hand-dyed indigo cotton from ethnic artisans in Northern Vietnam – one of a kind, impossible to repeat. The cloth was created using traditional natural dyeing methods, leaving patterns that happen only once. We simply followed what the fabric offered.

No fancy cuts, no overthinking the design. The fabric already spoke for itself, so we kept the jacket basic and easy.

It was also a bit of an experiment for us. Sometimes you work on something not knowing if it will make sense in the end. This one did. And then it left, which is kind of the point.

One piece, one story. That’s all it needed to be.

From One to Many

When we first started Bay Bay Linen, orders came in slowly. One per week was normal. And that was okay – we had time to make it right, to double-check everything, and keep hoping for the next one.

Then things started to shift. A few more orders…

Then a few more…

And more…

Suddenly, our shipping days weren’t about just one neat little package – we were lining up several, trying to keep track of who ordered what, and quietly adjusting to the new rhythm.

It didn’t happen overnight, but it happened. There’s a small feeling of “Okay, maybe we’re doing something right.”

We still pack each order with care, no matter how many come in at once. Because behind every one is someone who chose to trust a small workshop like ours. So thanks for keeping us busy.

When One Dress Turns Into Four

It started with one dress. And a little bit of trust.

A few weeks ago, we packed a linen dress and sent it off to someone who had never tried our brand before. We always hold a little breath during that time – wondering how it will feel on the other side. Will it fit well? Will it bring joy?

Then… she came back. Not with a review (though we love those too), but with three more orders – the same dress, just in her favorite colors.

That moment meant so much to us.
Not just because she came back, but because she trusted us in the first piece. And then decided she wanted to live with the dress a little more.

We don’t make fast fashion. We don’t launch collections every month. But we do believe in a dress that makes you feel like yourself – simple, easy, and made to last.

So when someone finds “the one,” and returns for more, it reminds us why we do this. Every piece is a conversation. It’s never just a dress – it’s part of someone’s day, and that means everything.
