ABOUT

Tai Dam women in traditional dress are easily recognised by their black headscarves edged with red and yellow trim and fitted blouses. The Tai Dam consider their original homeland to be Muang Thaeng (now Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam), from where they migrated to other parts of Vietnam and Laos. Tai Dam traditionally made mattresses, blankets, and bedding by hand – spinning, weaving, sewing, and stuffing each piece. They are also known for their intricate silks used as shawls, funeral shrouds, and skirts.
