Hmong Batik
The Hmong people of Indochina are known for batik, a wax resist dye technique. Traditionally, motifs are drawn with wax onto hand-spun hemp then dyed with indigo creating an indigo blue cloth with a white pattern.
Sapa Farmstay offers guests the opportunity to witness one of the traditional Hmong crafts: Hmong Batik Embroidery.
Batik is a very old and traditional embroidery style. It involves unique motifs that have been passed down through many generations.
Since ancient times, the Hmong have used these motifs to represent their daily life, religion, culture, decorate, and communicate as Hmong people don’t have any written language. Hmong women draw symbols on their skirts to create messages, disguising them as decorative patterns.
