D�p T_ Ong Goes From Timeless Family Keepsake to Millennial Ico.
D�p t_ ong, which translates to �honeycomb slippers,� is neither fashionable nor imposing. It�s made of painfully beige rubber with a �thicker-than-life� sole and a strap featuring a hexagonal pattern that resembles a honeycomb. What the honeycomb slippers lack in style, they more than make up for in durability and functionality, as is the case with most goods produced during Vietnam�s Doi Moi years. This is also why nowadays the footwear is still a common item for children in the country�s less fortunate regions, like northern Vietnam�s mountainous provinces.
