A Mỹ Tâm fan born in the 1990s with a passion for “fabric and love”
Having loved sewing and knitting since childhood, Vũ Quỳnh Vân, a 9x-generation woman as pretty as a “hot girl,” began pursuing her dream of making lovely baby items after graduating from Foreign Trade University. Vân confided: “It is very difficult, but every encouraging message from parents gives me more motivation.”
Vân shared that from the age of 5-6, she was fascinated by watching her mother knit sweaters and scarves. Seeing her daughter's curiosity and concentration, her mother taught her to knit. Vân learned quickly and soon surprised her mother by knitting an entire scarf. Living next door to her aunt, a seamstress, Vân would visit daily and play endlessly with fabric scraps.
By secondary school, she had mastered her aunt's heavy mechanical sewing machine. Vân used scraps to sew bags, doll clothes and every little pretty thing she could imagine. ‘My current work gives me the same excitement I felt as a child,’ she shared.

Because it began with such a memory, Vân insists that all her children's bedding, pillows, crib bumpers, and other products are handmade. ‘Korean cotton has the outstanding qualities of being warm in winter, cool in summer, and soft. Its especially varied, eye-catching colors and patterns give my workers complete creative freedom,’ she said.
Because they are handmade, her 100 products come in 100 different styles. “Of course, the stitching quality, size, and durability must be the same,” Vân affirmed with a smile when asked about product quality.
Vân initially used the brand name “FABRIC with LOVE” (Fabric and Love) for her products. Parents welcomed the products enthusiastically, but many said the name was too hard to remember. “I thought that if I made truly high-quality products, people would welcome them anyway. But to help people remember, a change was needed,” Vân confided.
After much deliberation, this young woman born in the 1990s renamed the brand ‘Ngựa Trắng,’ with a logo of two horses touching heads to form a heart. ‘I never expected people to like the new name so much. During the first few days, parents who had bought from me messaged asking me to replace the “Fabric with love” label with Ngựa Trắng,’ Vân said.
To connect better with customers, Vân also invested in her own website, nguatrang.vn, with a live chat window for parents. She shared: ‘Looking after children is really difficult these days. I see parents worrying about so many things. But since I have not started a family and only know about fabrics and children’s sleep, I can only answer some of their questions.’
Besides her passion for fabrics, Vũ Quỳnh Vân, born in the 1990s, has a deeply compassionate heart. Since her student days, she and her friends have regularly visited centers for disadvantaged children to help clean and care for them.
‘At the time, we did not have any money either, so all we could contribute was our labor. But I think helping others feels wonderful, even when all we can offer is our own modest effort,’ Vân confided.

Vân now regularly supports charitable funds. This is why she decided to donate 10% of profits from Ngựa Trắng branded items purchased from 24/9 to 10/10 to the charitable fund of the Faith and Hope Club, established in 2011 to support children with blood cancer at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion.
“Another core value I want Ngựa Trắng to convey is love for children: to help them sleep soundly and safely in their family’s arms while appreciating the beauty of the things close to them—whimsical animals, flower petals, and the colors on their blankets and pillows…
‘More than that, the children cherish family affection and childhood memories. These stay with them throughout life, nurturing dreams and helping them grow,’ the woman born in the 1990s shared confidently.
Vân also revealed that, through the Ngựa Trắng brand, she wants to convey an image of “Transparent Love.” She believes that when you love someone with all your heart, love becomes transparent. Love between mothers and children, fathers and children, family members, friends, and couples. Transparent love will make you truly happy.
Asked about her idol, Vân immediately named singer Mỹ Tâm. “She has tremendous determination and has faced so many difficulties and challenges to stand firm and succeed in her singing career. She is also passionate about fashion. I feel certain similarities with her and dream of accomplishing great things as she has.” We wish Vũ Quỳnh Vân much success soon in pursuing her dreams and passion.
