The dakao story
dakao quartier
Inspired by Da Kao area - a former neighborhood in Sai Gon - Gia Dinh, known for the city dwellers and their multicultural lifestyle, dakao quartier was born in the midst of Sai Gon so urbanized yet idyllic. In 2024, dakao quartier concept store offers a wide range of designed decorative items for the dynamic, urban metropolis of "Saigon"
Colors of the city are created from the city’s light spectrum. Saigon shimmers under its intense heat, and as soon as the sun sets, people are drawn out into the streets.
