About Miao Hmong Embroidery

Each enchanting product comes from the artistic heart and hand of skilful Miao Hmong ladies living in the remotest areas of Southwest China and Northern Thailand. Hmong embroidery is a millennial technique of incommensurable artistic value that is learnt since the age of six. From birth to marriage, from festivals to daily dresses, Miao Hmong ladies create all their clothing with hand embroidery, using more than 14 different techniques to hand stitch their exceptionally colourful apparel, rich in texture and design. Natural landscapes, animals and flowers are usually represented in the abstract shapes of the visionary patterns. Sometimes geometric abstractions purely represent auspicious symbols. With younger generations progressively moving to the urban centres, Miao Hmong artistic heritage is at risk of extinction, having worldwide private collectors and Museums including the British Museum in the UK, US Textile Museum and Minneapolis Institute of Arts working hard to protect it.

In 2006, Chinese government aligned with United Nation UNESCO heritage policy, accredited Miao Embroidery an Intangible Cultural Heritage, recognizing its contribution on cultural diversity and human creativity, and safeguarding this human treasure to be kept alive.
