Chus note
Brocade is a cultural feature with quintessential traditional values at the present time. It is a long-standing feature of ethnic minorities in Viet Nam.
Patterns on brocade reflect the beauty of culture, life and human perspective. Brocade is created entirely by hand, through many complicated stages and the efforts of workers with completely natural materials. Therefore, the product is definitely safe for the environment, each needle thread is thick, solid, ensuring durability.
At the same time, each motif spreads a solid spiritual value, a meaning, not simply an ordinary decorative object.
Note:
- Hard-packaging will be charged at 25.000 VND.
- Hand-weaving might result in a difference in length for each strand.
- Natural colors will be different by 20% due to manual dye-ing. This can result in uniqueness for each product.

Special note
1. Instructions for use
- 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.
