Though without the vibrant flowers adorning the streets and alleys, nor the sweet confections filling every kitchen, the excitement and national pride on Independence Day remain undiminished in the hearts of every Vietnamese citizen. This sacred and eternal spirit continues to shine through the colours of the flag and the clothes worn in the rhythm of today's life.

My childhood was marked with the image of my mother stroking her ao dai flat before going out (Ao dai is traditional costume for women (and men) in Vietnam.) At that time, cloth produced in the country was cheap; my mother had many ao dai of different colors tailored. She wore ao dai everywhere she went on every occasion.

In order to honor Ao dai Vietnam clothing, and at the same time respond to Hue Community Ao Dai Week 2024, which is due to take place from June 24 - 30, Hue City People's Committee has just issued an official dispatch to organize the Hue Community Ao Dai Week 2024.

From the morning of the first day of Tet, a lot of people and tourists have come to Thuy Xuan incense village (Thuy Xuan ward, Hue city), wearing antique clothes to shoot and save memorable photos.

With the same value as Zèng cloth, the Amber sleeping mat of Ta Oi people (in A Luoi) also takes a lot of effort to produce. To make this product, sometimes the process of picking leaves, stripping, drying, dyeing, knitting… takes more than a month. Ta Oi girl, before coming to her husband's house, must have a few of these mats as an offering to show love and respect for the groom's family.

Tet is around the corner, so this is the right time for women to go shopping for new clothes with the modern trends of designs and styles.
