With their skillful hands, these women have brought to the market hundreds of diverse products, from brocade fabrics, clothing, bedsheets, and tablecloths to briefcases, wallets, ties, scarves, and headbands with delicate and unique patterns.

In particular, Hoa Tien's brocade products are dyed with natural forest plants, resulting in colors unlike any other brocade products from other regions. Because of this, Hoa Tien brocade is highly favored by tourists, especially international visitors. Currently, Hoa Tien brocade is showcased at major trade fairs held in Hanoi, Hoi An Ancient Town, and even in Laos and Thailand.
