Costumes of Ha Nhi ethnic women in Y Ty

Apart from planting wet rice, the black Ha Nhi ethnic minority people in Y Ty grow cotton for yarns which are woven to form cotton fabric for making their unique costumes.

The costumes of the black Ha Nhi people include a shirt, pants, headscarf, and hair tie, among others. Among them, shirt is the most spectacular item with impressive embroidery patterns.

In the black Ha Nhi people’s tradition, indigo head scarf indicates the state of marriage of a girl. Those wearing head scarves are married.

Below are photos of beautiful costumes of the black Ha Nhi ethnic minority people taken by photographer CAO Art.
