About the Artisans
The Hmong people are an indigenous community in the mountainous regions of Vietnam, Laos, China, and Thailand. Our Hmong artisans in Lao Cai Province practice an ancient embroidery tradition called paj ntaub, or “flower cloth.” These textiles are much more than decoration – each stitch is a symbol. Motifs like the elephant’s foot, snail, and mountain represent family, growth and stability, while the trident offers spiritual protection. Historically, when the Hmong’s written language was suppressed, women encoded their stories and ancestry into this embroidery, turning garments into “coded clothing”. Today they still hand‑embroider, tie‑dye and batik every piece, a process that can take days.
Your purchase helps preserve this cultural heritage and provides fair wages for the women who create our pillow covers, bed runners, tapestries and apparel. By choosing Hmong handmade goods, you’re bringing a piece of Vietnam’s living history into your home and supporting sustainable livelihoods.
