MIAO EMBROIDERY

Stitches that carry memory.

A living textile tradition shaped through hand stitching,
color, pattern and generations of cultural memory.

What It Is

Miao embroidery brings together hand stitching, layered color and symbolic motifs. Techniques vary by community and object, while cloth becomes a carrier of identity, memory and blessing.
