STORY: Embroidered Jacket in 21 Dip Indigo
The embroidered jacket was where our story began. The Embroidered Jacket in 21 Dip Indigo is a reproduction of the traditional Mien men's jacket from Taphin village.
Made with our signature handspun, handwoven cotton from north Vietnam, naturally dyed in fermented indigo 21 times creating an almost black blue.. The jacket is lightweight and embellished with unique hand stitched silk embroidery.
In Taphin, every year a woman will make her own clothes covered in beautiful hand stitched embroidery that tells stories of the Mien culture and connects women to the land, the mountains, the community and their story as Mien people.
Every jacket is slightly different, if you want to choose your embroidery contact Hannah - me@tamayandme.com
The embroidery is reclaimed from Mien old clothes providing income for as many families as we can, Tamay is careful to select exquisite embroideries from families most in need of revenue at a certain time.
