Hmong bag spotted on the streets of Paris...


So I got this picture that was published on a fashion blog showing a woman on the streets of Paris. Can you see the bag? Recognize it? Well this is not the "real deal" it's the bags that are mainly machine stitched and sometimes have parts included from the Hmong baby carriers. Mine are a 100% hand embroidered vintage fabric...it's still beautiful though!

  2. Hmong bags are true works of art. It goes back to their lack of a written language the design often tell the story of their history or important parts of their lives.
