After releasing our Chapter 2 collection, we received feedback asking if our illustrations were AI-generated. We were surprised to hear this as we collaborated with a local agency in Vietnam, who maintained that their in-house designers created these illustrations. The only exceptions are "Tokyo Nights" and "Japanese Whiskey", which used royalty-free stock images. It's always our goal from day 1 to support small local businesses and, given our long-term partnership, we trusted the agency's word.
However, admitting our inability in spotting AI art and to ensure authenticity, we've decided to redo some of these illustrations. This process will take time, so we appreciate your patience.
Meanwhile, if you're an illustrator interested in working with us, email your portfolio to help@dannam.co. We are eager to support independent artists!

UPDATE 13/11/2025:
We have updated all of the illustrations with royalty-free illustrations we paid for. Product photos will be updated in the next batch of production.
We're also having discussion with other illustrators to commission exclusive works for d'Annam. These will be updated over time as we complete them.
