The Hoi An Silk Lantern Collection: Every Shape, Every Size, Real Prices

How much does a Hoi An silk lantern from this collection cost?

Across all 58 models in this collection, prices run from 28,000 VND up to 1,800,000 VND. Where you land in that range depends mostly on size and finish — a small plain or printed piece sits at the low end, a large hand-painted or embroidered piece at the high end. See the size table and the four-finish comparison above for the exact bands.

What is the difference between plain, printed, hand-painted and embroidered lanterns?

Plain fabric has no decoration at all — just the shape and the colour. Printed fabric has a floral or motif pattern printed on before assembly. Hand-painted pieces are painted individually by a person, which is why they cost more than printed fabric of the same size. Embroidered pieces have characters or motifs stitched onto the fabric by hand, giving a raised texture you can feel as well as see.

Which of the eight shapes should I choose?

Round, Garlic, Inverted Garlic, Pyramid, Diamond, Custard Apple, Umbrella, Flying Saucer are the eight shapes we make. Round and Garlic are the most recognisable silhouettes and work in almost any setting. Flying Saucer and Umbrella sit low and wide, which reads well over a table. If you are matching an existing set or a specific look, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will match it to the closest shape and size.

What is the difference between mulberry silk and glossy polyester?

Mulberry silk: Woven from silkworm thread. Deeper colour, slight natural sheen, the traditional choice. Glossy polyester: Brighter, more reflective, and more forgiving outdoors and in humid air. Both fold flat the same way and use the same bamboo frame — the difference is entirely in the fabric.

Can I carry lanterns from this collection home in my luggage?

Yes — every lantern here uses the same folding bamboo frame described in our shipping guide. It collapses flat in seconds and reopens the same way. See our guide to folding, packing and shipping a Hoi An lantern home for exact folded weights by size and how to pack one in a suitcase.

Do you sell this collection wholesale?

Yes. All the shapes and finishes on this page are available wholesale, with tiered pricing from a modest quantity and lower per-piece cost as the order grows. Custom logo printing is available on plain and printed fabric from a small minimum order. See our wholesale guide for the full tiered pricing and how to send a spec list.

Are the model names on this page in Vietnamese?

Yes, deliberately. Each model name is the actual name used in our workshop — translating it would invent a product name that does not exist in our records. The English label above each name tells you the shape and finish; the Vietnamese name underneath is the exact model to quote when you message us.
