In the 2010s, as cheaper, fake silk flooded the market and young textile workers moved to the big cities, this local craft started dying out. But one village turned things around, banding together into one cooperative called HanhSilk.
We head to northern Vietnam to learn how Nam Cao village saved its big business of silk.

It’s crazy how that one woman changed the course of many generations by saving this industry

It’s extremely frustrating that none of the videos provide links or info about the companies they film. It would benefit the peoples lives and businesses and help keep the crafts going. Saving culture and the environment. PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS/INFO!

My sister is a teacher and her school raised silkworms as part of the curriculum for several years. The teachers had to find enough mulberry leaves themselves. Fortunately our dad owned an auto junkyard with several wild mulberry trees. My sister's worms were always healthy, I believe because pesticides had never been used on our property. The other teachers worms did not do very well, probably since most residential lawn trees have been exposed to pesticides. The school district eventually discontinued the silkworms because most teachers did not have healthy worms.

The woman who left being a designer to build the coop for her region & country, is very impressive. She’s a hero for the silk trade of Vietnam 🇻🇳 These are the traditions that should be passed down.

Ms. Hanh is such a kind soul. She left her job, made the cooperative, and helped these families to preserve a craft that was on the way to a steady decline.

My mom in California raised silkworms for her preschool students for several years. Those little guys eat an unbelievable amount of fresh mulberry leaves every day.

This was very interesting.
I can remember as a child we had silkworms and they were so much fun ! We would also feed them beetroot leaves and they would make pink silk 😊
Such a wonderful childhood memory .

I used to have silkworms. Always drove around town to find the right mulberry tree for leaves. You can also feed them beetroot and the silk will be pink!

Such beautiful silk

I'm from Vietnam and thanks Business Insider for making a lot of videos about Vietnam that even Vietnamese people like me sometimes do not know. All videos are great and deep research. 🥰

What an incredible woman Hanh is!! She did more than revitalize this community but gave it the tools for future growth and success. Everyone in the video is so clearly grateful to her, so I can only imagine she's kind as well as intelligent. Amazing!

Bless the family for making silk clothes for comfortable who have allergies to wool, cotton, etc. I love to visit this someday.

I am so grateful for Han creating the collaborative! I love traditional clothing and jewelry and want it to exist well into the future. What people like these families produce is not only beautiful but culturally invaluable, because their labor is an art form. Thank you to everyone involved who has chosen to earn their living by preserving this tradition!

Our family is in the silk industry for the past 25 years, and there are MANY unsung, unheard heroes within this industry alone.
The traditional crafts industry in Vietnam is at large, are in need of apprentice to pass on the traditions, and silk is suffering even more due to it hard-labour nature. Not just that, because the delicate texture of silk, every other steps past weaving needs specialist. For example: you CANNOT dye silk the same way you dye cotton, a lot of hand measure and experiences needed to recreate the colors perfectly; Same thing with sewing silk into clothes, a normal fast-fashion factory seamstress WILL NOT have the skill/sense to work with silk; Same with printing on silk, embroidery on silk etc.
You might think I am exaggerating, but our family been trying to train new seamstress and finding apprentice for our suppliers - the success is minimal. Especially after Covid-19, all exports stalled and a lot of the artists left the industry. My mother and her sisters tried their best to maintain the workflows and keep people, but they cannot save everyone in the industry.
All I want to say is, it is a weakening craft, but there are many passionate people trying to carry on the legacy. Ms. Hanh here is one of them.

We need more of this, we need more people going into these small poor villages,helping them with new technologies/ideas, instead of the money going to traders it should go to the people actually creating the products , doing the hard work.

It's always a pleasure to hear of the peoples of Vietnam thriving. Grow from one generation to the next, thrive and be blessed.

Watching this really makes me appreciate all the silk garments I have more (I have a lot, so much so that a lot of the times I can recognise silk by observing the sheen and feeling the fabric)
