The “Ban Sac Viet" collection is the strong and resilient 2022 greeting of Saigon Beer, with 63 beer cans featuring the typical scenery, culture and customs of a province or city, accompanied by a short poem depicting the local traditions.
The art direction of the collection was inspired by wood carving art - a typical art of Dong Ho folk paintings, which added rusticity and vividness to the printed images on the cans. Through 5 main colours including red, orange, green, blue and gold, the collection skillfully recreates the signatures of each region, implying the spirit of national cohesion of 63 provinces and cities across the country.
