What sets Red Dao brocade apart is the hand-embroidery technique with every stitch made by hand that requires patience, skill, and creativity.

The art of brocade weaving is passed down from mother to daughter, forming a vital part of a Red Dao woman’s upbringing. Girls begin learning to use a needle and thread from the age of 8 to 10 and are expected to be able to sew a complete traditional outfit by the time they reach adulthood.
