The basket is often used to hold things, but has 2 additional straps for people to conveniently carry and carry on their shoulders. In particular, there are baskets that only have 1 strap, instead of using the shoulder, people wear the strap on their forehead, not having to use their hands to hold things. Therefore, it is very convenient to use, especially when having to travel far. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

Learning to weave backpacks requires perseverance, meticulousness, and carefulness, so currently, not many people are proficient in weaving backpacks, usually the elderly in the village and commune weave backpacks according to the orders of the people and use them in work and family life.
