“Ham choi” is a phrase in Vietnamese meaning always wanting to play and not work. Parents often used this to describe kids which doesn't always have a positive connotation. For me, I am reclaiming this phrase and leaning into it as a way of life. 

Based in CT, Ham Choi Market is a small female-run business specializing in vintage and secondhand goods, and services in production design, wardrobe styling, and set dressing.
