The Hmong women who craft what we sell are very creative. They have applied their textile skills and designs
by selling both traditional Hmong textile crafts as well as more modern
applications of their arts. Please note that our supply is limited.
| Item | Description
| Story Cloth
 | We sell traditional story cloths both large and small. Story cloths are
the traditional form of written storytelling for the Hmong, since they
did not have a written language until the 1940's. Our story cloths range
in topic from Village Life, to Traditional Stories, to depictions of
the Hmong flight from Asia. The story cloths range in size from 1.5’ x
1.5’ to 4’ x 6’. | Purses, handbags and totes | Who can resist a brilliantly colored purse that is not only artful, but will match with almost any outfit? Many of our items are completely unique, so no one else will have the same one as you do. | | For any person interested in quilting or stitching with Hmong patterns on their own, we have hundreds of unfinished symbol and story cloth squares that can be sewn on to any item you choose. | | We carry stuffed animals made of many different fabrics and designs.
These animals are intended not just for children, but for conversational
pieces and pin cushions as well. | | The Hmong only occasionally use their traditional garments in the United
States, but they retain the knowledge of the garments and the process
to make them. Today, you may purchase dolls dressed in traditional Hmong
clothing. | Vest and Jackets
| There are many varieties of designs on our vests, jackets and blouses,
ranging from simple symbols to story cloth patterns. Vests come in
various weaves and colors and jackets vary in
weight and warmth. | Sweatshirts and T-shirts
| We carry a number of tastefully patterned t-shirts and sweatshirts. All
our pull-over items have either patterned squares or small story cloths
sewn into the front. | Neckties
| The makers of these ties have applied common Hmong patterns into
intricate necktie designs. These ties are unique due to their textured
design, which makes the pattern seem to pop out of the tie. The ties
come in either traditional or zip-up form.
| Pillows and Pillow Cases
| Story cloths and patterned designs make great decorative pillows for
couches and chairs. We carry both stuffed pillows and pillow covers in a
variety of sizes and designs. | Christmas Ornaments
| The American tradition of the Christmas tree has inspired a number of
crafts from our Hmong consignees. They have turned beaded ornaments,
patterns and designs, and traditional good luck charms into hanging
items for your home or Christmas tree. |
