Traditional Vietnamese hand embroidery

In Vietnam, hand embroidery has been around since the time of King Hung. At that time, embroiderers used thread, silk, and dyed yarn to embroider and decorate on the fabric. Like other countries, the ancient Vietnamese often embroidered motifs of plants, trees, shapes, flowers, birds, animals, daily life scenes… on towels, bags, clothes, flags…

Over hundreds of years, the industriousness, meticulousness and hard work of the Vietnamese people have made the embroidery profession not only thrive in its birthplace but also spread throughout the S-shaped strip of land, but mostly focus on in the North, especially Hanoi.
Embroidery products of Vietnam are not only consumed throughout the country but also exported to dozens of international markets such as Japan, Korea, Singapore, USA, Europe… It is the main income for many households and becomes an important handicraft industry, contributing to the economic development of the locality as well as the export turnover of the whole country.🌸🌸🌸🌷🌷🌷
