James Lowther’s colour-rich accessories shine a light on the ancient art of Vietnamese lacquer painting. First, base layers of Sinh are applied to protect and strengthen the wood, then natural lacquer is mixed with fine ground mountain rock, alluvium soil and cashew nut shell oil before being smoothed and wet-sanded. Finally, the colour is applied and ready for meticulous hand-painting.
