Our Story - An American Brand with Vietnamese Heritage
At Swaddle An, we are more than just a brand; we are a testament to the power of friendship and cultural fusion. Our story begins with an unlikely bond between two former teachers, one from the United States and one from Vietnam, who met in the vibrant world of print-on-demand. Despite their different backgrounds, they quickly discovered a deep connection, becoming "brothers from another mother" united by their shared passion for quality, personalization, and creating products that truly matter. After long talks, the two former teachers decided to embark on an adventure and include their own families to help build the Swaddle An family.
A Tale of Two Cultures, United by Love
An toàn: means "safe" or "safety".
SWADDLE: wrap (someone, especially a baby) in garment or cloth.
Our brand is built on the foundation of this friendship, which transcends borders and cultures. Swaddle An embodies the warmth and love that every parent wishes to envelop their child in. The word "Swaddle" symbolizes the comforting embrace that parents strive to provide, while "An" is derived from the Vietnamese phrase "An Toan," meaning "calm." This reflects our commitment to crafting products that bring peace and tranquility to both baby and parent.
Connecting Cultures, Creating Comfort
Our heritage is a blend of American innovation and Vietnamese tradition. When Vietnam comes up in conversations, many Americans immediately think of the conflict between the two countries from nearly 50 years ago. Through mutual friendship, cultural curiosity, and a teacher’s love of learning, the two friends quickly became family and set out to create an international brand together.
We draw inspiration from the rich cultural tapestry of Vietnam, where family and community are at the heart of every celebration. Meanwhile, our American roots bring a modern twist to our designs, ensuring they are both functional and stylish. This unique blend allows us to create products that not only honor our heritage but also resonate with families worldwide.

Factory story (Made in Vietnam, Designed in US)
At Swaddle An, we proudly blend the best of both worlds. Our products are thoughtfully designed in the United States, where innovation and creativity come together to create unique and functional designs. Meanwhile, our manufacturing process takes place in our owned factories in Vietnam, where we leverage the country's rich textile heritage and skilled craftsmanship to bring our designs to life. This fusion allows us to combine modern design sensibilities with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring that every product not only meets but exceeds our high standards of quality and comfort.
