Hmong Embroidery
We are Hmong people from Laos living at the Kajsiab Shelter. In our Women's Workplace we make beautiful embroidered art work. We are very proud of our skills that we have learned from our mothers and grandmothers.
To make one piece of embroidery takes many days and many hours of patiently sitting together, sew and talk about life, while ate the same time watching our children and feed our babies.
When you buy our embroideries you help us and Project Kajsiab Laos and you also help to save our traditional skills for future generations.

Hmong Traditions
Hi!
We are Hmong Lao people and our traditions are very important for us. The traditions keep us together and make us help each other in all times.
During special days we also have traditional clothes and we wanted to show you some of them!
Traditionally, Hmong embroidery is used as a form of decoration on clothing to make it bright and beautiful.

Hmong Culture
We are Lao Hmong people and we live at Kajsiab Shelter right now. We are very happy to live here and most of us stay for a few years until we have found new ways to take care of our children and families. Then we go back to our villages.
We live on mountain tops, upland ridges, or hillsides over 1,000 meters in elevation. Sometimes our villages are moved to new locations when swidden farming resources in the old locale have been exhausted. Yet some villages have continued for more than 100 years, with individual households moving in or out during this period.
