Making brocade products helps H’mong women not only preserve and bring into play the beauty of traditional culture, but also eradicate poverty.
The H’mong women’s technique of growing flax and weaving linen has been recognized as National Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Below are photos of the craft:
