Last year we spent a month in Vietnam. These pictures are from a village in the north called Bac Ha, and their Sunday Market. The clothing that the women wear in the north is absolutely amazing to look at, it is an explosion of colour and madness, with several different techniques in one garment. The dresses and robes that they wear takes weeks to make, and the detail work is just mind blowing. I wish I could have brought a whole suitcase filled with these dresses, scarfs and baby carriers with me back home, but as a backpacker with a teeny-tiny budget it was not possible. I would love to go back one day, Vietnam is wonderful.
