LA LIBRERIA UMANA DI EXPATCLIC

Spanish Laura Fontan Pardo (or Laura Chula) arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam seventeen years ago, with her husband Diego Cortizas. Together, they created a wonderful fashion social enterprise, which quickly became a well renowned cultural hub. For Diego and Laura fashion was the means to spread culture and to give work to disadvantaged people. When Diego suddenly died last year, Laura decided to stay on and continue the amazing and meaningful project they have created.

She will share the story of Chula Fashion and tell us what and how she keeps on today.
