Oskdi Imports was founded on a fundamental need identified by a wife of Laotian heritage, with the support of her Vietnamese husband, to provide better representation for the Southeast Asian community. The realization stemmed from personal experiences, noticing the absence of gifting envelopes that truly resonated with her Southeast Asian cultural background. Instead, they found themselves resorting to Chinese red envelopes or plain white ones for significant occasions like weddings, birthdays, and New Year celebrations. Determined to address this gap, they embarked on creating a product that would authentically reflect and portray the community's traditions.
