The traditional brocade weaving job became a
feature of the Thai ethnic cultural life here. During the leisure time, Thai
ethnic women are industrious at the weaving looms to create colorful brocade
cloths full of patterns and Thai ethnic characteristics. To develop brocade
weaving, Chieng Chau commune has established 3 Textile sectors: Thuan Hoa
social charity Center (a center of traditional manual weaving and industrial
sewing machines), Thap Khanh textile village and Chieng Chau brocade weaving
Cooperative.

At present, 3 textile sectors of the commune
are operating effectively. Chieng Chau textile co-operative was established in
2009 thanks to the Jica organization to help with machines and training in
embroidery and sewing techniques. In addition, it comes from the passion of
Thai ethnic women with the desire to preserve traditional weaving of Chieng
Chau commune. Ms. Vi Thi Oanh, the Vice Chairman of Chieng Chau Co-operative
said: Currently, the Co-operative operates stably and creates regular jobs for
21 laborers with the income of 2.5-3 million VND / person / month. The products
of the cooperative mainly are bags, wallets, teddy bears, slippers, pillow
cases, in which the best-selling products are bags and wallets. The products of
the cooperative are favored by tourists, are being presented in most festivals,
fairs, and tourist resorts in the province. In addition, the Cooperative has
confirmed its presence in big cities such as Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Da Nang, Quang
