Zhinh – A Weaving of Two Worlds

The name Zhinh is the weaving of two worlds, two names, and two parts of my life. Chinh Thi, my Vietnamese birth name, and Zoe, the name given to me after adoption. Zhinh is the name of my soul. Through this channel of offerings.. it is a vehicle I use to become closer to Zhinh and to stitch the these two parts of me (Zoe and Chinh Thi) together to become one, stitching what once felt so fragmented into something harmonious. With each piece I make, I feel closer to Zhinh, and through this journey, I share the light of my soul.

Zhinh is a channel for wearable art, artisanal clothing, and slow-crafted intentional design. Expressions of my spirit through fabric, form, and texture. Each piece is a unique creation, from hand-dyed, heart-crafted garments to small-batch collections and home goods like pillowcases. Everything is made sustainably and ethically with the finest materials, whether organic, deadstock, or sustainably sourced fabric, handcrafted by me in my LA studio or in collaboration with friends in India and Vietnam.

Clothing and objects carry energy. They are energy. Zhinh offerings are talismans of light, darkness that was transformed into light, meant to uplift, protect, and provide a sense of home/security to those who wear them. What began as a personal exploration of identity and deepening more into my innate creative nature, has grown into a journey of healing, self-acceptance, and alignment with my deepest truths.

Incorporating landscapes, the elements, elements of my childhood and personal journey and the whispers of the universe, I believe that clothing is more than fabric. It is a reflection of who we are and the dreams we carry. Zhinh is for the dreamers, the warriors, the lovers, the nurturers, the explorers, Adventurists, the curious, and the criminally in-tune.

Through each creation, I become closer to Zhinh.

Zhinh - Pronounced (Z-i-n):

• Zoe: Means, Life .The fullnesS of life, Vibrancy, growth.
• Thi: Carries the energy of Observation and Grace. The quiet strength of a woman who observes, reflects, and nurtures, holding space for love, conversation, and wisdom.
• Chinh: Carries the energy of, Compassion and Determination A journey forward-one of conquering life's challenges with steadfastness, docility, and heart.

Together, Zhinh a reminder to conquer one's path with compassion, to observe the world with care, and to honor the fullness of life's beauty. To live. TO Play.

As I weave these two worlds within me together, worlds that can often feel at war, I sense the ripples extending beyond myself. This inner stitching, this act of integration, is not just personal ,it is collective. As I bring these fragmented parts into harmony within, I believe it contributes to weaving the outer world, which also longs for unity.

As within, so without.

Each piece I create is more than fabric, more than thread it is a prayer for the universe, harmony, a tangible expression of healing, a whisper of peace woven into form.
