Welcome to Dung Kno in the Cils ethnic group in Vietnam

Dung Kno is a small village 300 km from Ho Chi Minh, the capital of Vietnam. Here, we don't speak Vietnamese in the village, but Cils! When entering a house, we greet our host by saying "Niamsa"!

10 weavers weave traditional village patterns and 5 women still know how to do vegetable dyeing. It is with a local association that we have set up this weaving program.

THE cotton comes from a supplier in the region, some of its cotton is local but some comes from all over Vietnam. We are working on the traceability of this cotton and hope one day to be able to encourage another village, a cotton specialist, to replant it without chemicals and water supply!

Cotton threads are dyed with plants from the surroundings of the village: indigo for blue ( production video ), turmeric for yellow, leaves whose name we do not know for green. Other plants come from the region: roucou seeds for orange and beetroot for gray!
