(Baonghean.vn) - The brocade dresses and scarves are woven not for commercial purposes, but rather to express love and pride for one of the most unique products of ethnic minorities. These are the records at the Brocade Club of Tong Mon village, Nghia Thinh commune, Nghia Dan district.

Luckily, I had the opportunity to visit the house of Ms. Loc Thi Nam - Head of the Club for Preserving Ethnic Cultural Identity in Tong Mon village, Nghia Thinh commune (Nghia Dan) to attend a club meeting. Witnessing and admiring the scarves made by the skillful hands of the women here, I could see the meticulousness in every needle and thread, and appreciate the beauty of tradition even more. Currently, the Tong Mon Brocade Weaving Club has 40 members, the oldest is 75 years old, the youngest is not yet 20.
