Festival titled" The spell of Blue Hmong textiles" kicked off in Hanoi

The two-day event aims to present the quintessence of Mong culture at the Ha Noi Design Centre, 91 Au Co Street.

A display showcasing textile products of the Blue Mong ethnic group from Hoa Binh will open to the public from 10am on Saturday.
 
Visitors will have the chance to learn about the rich artistic and spiritual world of the group through batik, applique and embroidery. They will have the chance to see how they are made, and the meanings behind the motifs.
The event will also exhibit new collections inspired by Mong textiles to spark a conversation about bringing ethnic traditions to contemporary, international markets.
This event is a part of the "Improving Livelihood of Ethnic Minority Women through the Sustainable Development the Ethnic Textile Value Chain", a project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and executed by VietCraft.
