Thanh Ha embroidery village

Thanh Ha commune, Thanh Liem district, Ha Nam has long been known for traditional embroidery. For over 100 years, craft villages are still preserved with products for domestic consumption and export.

Thanks to the diligent, creative and meticulous labor in each needlepoint of the people, Thanh Ha traditional embroidery craft village is developing more and more. Typically, in 2022, the state will recognize Thanh Ha embroidery craft as a national intangible heritage.
 

For each worker in Thanh Ha embroidery village, each stitch brings them endless inspiration. Under the skillful hands of the craftsmen, each vibrant and vivid flower gradually appeared, decorating the mattress and the handkerchief more beautifully. Or the petals are arranged in vertical and horizontal rows, creating elegant decorative borders on bed sheets and curtains, reminiscent of simple floral embroidered clothes in the early 18th century. All make up an embroidery space with thousands of blooming flowers, attracting any soul who loves beauty and is passionate about discovering the region's traditional culture.
 

Tools and equipment in the embroidery village are straightforward. Labor is mainly manual. The entire craft village now has over 5,000 embroidery frames, 30 households have washing and printing equipment and other tools such as needles, hooks, knives and scissors. The stages of embroidery work include raw material preparation, pattern making, color mixing and printing, embroidery, laundry, packaging inspection, and consumption. The above steps are now done entirely by manual labor.

In particular, in order to ensure the quality of island prototyping, only a few technical and capital-intensive households are in charge, as well as providing services for the whole village. The stage of inspecting, packing and consuming products belongs to enterprises (in charge of consuming all craft village products). Workers only perform one embroidery stage.
 

Embroidery craft has the characteristics of low consumption of raw materials but a lot of crystallized labor in the product, so the product's value is excellent. However, the price of embroidery products depends on two factors: materials and designs of that product are popular with customers or not. The most popular items are bed sheets, pillows, and tablecloths…

To develop the craft village, in addition to constantly improving the quality of goods, improving the designs, and meeting the maximum requirements of customers, Thanh Ha people have also started to invest in marketing and advertising throughout all regions of the country. In particular, the embroidery village is also open to welcome tourists to visit and learn about the craft village.
