Lu ethnic minority group’s brocade weaving craft

The costumes of the Lu people are distinguished by colorful brocade patterns on indigo-dyed fabrics and many sophisticated jewelry.

In recent years, along with mobilizing people to develop economy, Tam Duong district has focused on information dissemination and mobilizing the Lu people to preserve and promote their cultural traditions, including traditional brocade weaving.

Below are photos of brocade weaving craft of the Lu group in Tam Duong district:

The main material for brocade weaving is cotton grown in the fields. Fabric dyes with different colors are also made by local people.

Although the looms are simple, the Lu ethnic women can create unique costumes by their skillful hands.

Brocade weaving craft not only contributes to preserving traditional culture, but also creates jobs and increases income for Lu ethnic women.
