The traditional brocade weaving has created products meeting the demands of daily life such as clothes, baby backpacks and bags; preserved traditional culture and brought economic value for weaving households.
It also shows the intelligence, skillful hands and sophisticated techniques of Hre weavers, having preserved and promoted the practice for a long time. Each product is not only a common commodity, but also a spiritual product for the weaver to send their talent, aesthetic, intelligence, creativity and labor.
Patterns on brocade textiles are motifs associated with the nature of mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, leaves and stylized geometric patterns such as parallel colored borders, balanced triangles, and squares arranged side by side. The dominant colors are black, red and white./.
