Colorful brocades

Among many exhibition spaces in Hue Traditional Craft Festival 2019, domestic and foreign tourists pay special attention to the space for brocade.

In this space, the artisans introduce to the people and visitors the unique traditional occupations that need to be preserved and developed.

Many traditional brocade weaving works of ethnic groups are displayed and performed. In addition to the brocade, this space also displays products from many famous silk villages in the country such as Thai Nam Nha Xa silk, Van Phuc silk, Nam Cao tussore, Bao Loc silk, Vietnam Silk House, etc.

Not only familiar brands, the visitors also see firsthand the rare types of brocades, which join in the Traditional Craft Festival for the first time such as traditional costumes of the K’ho and Chau Ma people. These are two of the few ethnic groups still preserving many unique features in their traditional costumes. Only by weaving frames made of wooden rods, bamboo bars or tubes, K'ho and Chau Ma people have created colorful and beautiful brocade products with many values such as covering, loin-cloths, skirts, bags and decorations, etc.

In addition, the visitors also experience with the artisans to create products right in this space.
