The beauty of Na Chang brocade

In Na Chang village, Thuong Lam commune, the Tay ethnic group has lived in close-knit communities for generations. The local people are actively preserving and promoting the traditional craft of brocade weaving, creating vibrant costumes that embody their cultural heritage.

In 2022, women in the village formed the Na Chang Brocade Weaving Interest Group with 15 members, under the Lam Binh Brocade Cooperative. The group focuses on producing souvenir items such as scarves, blankets, and baby carriers made from traditional brocade fabric to sell to tourists. These products have since become recognized under the local OCOP (One Commune One Product) program.

Ms. Ma Thi Mau, a Tay ethnic woman from Na Chang village, remains passionate about brocade weaving as a way to preserve her people's cultural identity.
