Ethnic H’mong people keep brocade weaving alive

For the black H’mong, brocade clothes feature a dominant black colour that is easy to recognise.

The colour of the costume is combined with beautiful patterns of flowers, leaves, and triangles on the brace, collar, skirt, and hat, thereby making the costumes of the black H’mong people more lively and impressive.

The main raw material used in the weaving process is cotton. Cotton after being harvested is then dried, whilst the yarn spinning must be done by hand to ensure that the thread is even, beautiful, and smooth.

Handicraft products produced by the black H’mong people are of high aesthetic value.

It typically takes around one month to complete a traditional costume with hand-embroidered patterns. Each costume created by the black H’mong people in Lam Binh district costs between VND5 and 7 million.

The promotion of traditional brocade weaving in Lam Binh district not only helps to preserve traditional cultural values, but also has a positive effect on building and developing cultural tourism products, creating sustainable livelihood for local people.

The costumes make black H’mong ethnic women look outstanding among crowds.
