Coming to Ta Phin, you will immediately catch sight of groups of Red Dao’s women gathering together, keeping in their hand’s colorful reels of thread and cloths. They sew continuously, even when offering the goods to the customers. Amazingly, most of them can speak quite well, some use Vietnamese less than English.
Since 1998, Ta Phin has officially become the “brocade village”, where tourists can find distinctively hand-made brocades made by ethnic people. All of the products are eye-catching with numerous bright colors and patterns, ranging from bags, scarf, purses, skirts, and even backpacks and coats. Ta Phin is also the main supplier of brocades for shops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and the products are exported to foreign countries as well.
