Chus note
Batik is the art of fabric decoration popular among many ethnic minorities of Vietnam. However, this technique has its own unique features for the H'Mong people.
First, the H'Mong uses molten beeswax to paint on the fabric. The cloth is then hand-dyed in indigo and boiled in boiling water. The beeswax melted will reveal vibrant, extremely sophisticated, and complicated patterns.
The H'Mong are very proud of this traditional technique of their people. Each pattern and brushstroke contains the soul and essence of the local culture.
Special note
1. Instructions
- Wash with shampoo or shower gel of natural origin.
- Wash each product separately to avoid color fading.
- Wash lightly, do not soak for long or rub it vigorously.
- Do not expose the product to direct sunlight.
- Iron the product while it is still warm, or use a steam iron.
2. Note:
- Do not use strong acidic detergents such as soap.
- Do not pour detergent directly on fabric but mix with water before wash
- Do not soak too long in water (reducing the durability, color spreading - this is a setback of natural fabrics - colors do not stay on as well as synthetic fabric)
- Iron on damp fabric or spray with water before ironing (iron the inside first)
- Dip fabric in water before working on it for a good shrinkage, 30s max. Fabric will release color on the first soak, much less later on. Wash quickly the first time and wash separately to avoid color blending.
