The hand-embroidered brocade of the Red Dao women in Sa Pa is very unique, with its distinctive patterns and vibrant colors. To make a complete costume, each woman must spend a lot of time and effort. The meticulousness in each stage has created the unique features of the Red Dao ethnic costume.

From mid-October when the harvest is finished, it is the rest time when women will focus on embroidering clothes to prepare for the New Year.

From the elderly...

...to the young are very meticulous with the embroidery lines to create unique brocade products.

The hand-embroidered brocade of the Red Dao women has very unique patterns according to the tradition of the ethnic group.
