Embroidery craft in Thuong Nong

Following the administrative merger, Thuong Nong Commune now comprises the former communes of Thuong Nong and Thuong Giap. The area continues to preserve the traditional embroidery craft of the Red Dao people, mainly concentrated in Thom Luong Village and partly in Dong Da Village. For generations, the Dao community has regarded embroidery as a treasured cultural heritage.

Each traditional costume is entirely hand-embroidered with meticulous care and precision, requiring patience, skill, and attention to detail in every stitch. Before getting married, Dao girls often spend much of their time at home sewing and embroidering to complete their own traditional outfits.

The Thom Luong Brocade Embroidery Club was established in September 2022 and currently has more than 30 members.

Skilled hands work swiftly, creating intricate patterns with colorful threads and delicate stitches.

The products mainly feature decorative motifs embroidered on traditional costumes.

Club members regularly update and develop new designs to meet market demands and consumer preferences.

The embroidery craft has been passed down through many generations.

Whenever participating in competitions, Thuong Nong Commune’s embroidery team has consistently achieved top prizes.
