Vintage traditional Yao jackets, worn by women of the Yao ethnic minority, are culturally significant garments that reflect the rich heritage and identity of the Yao people. The jackets are adorned with intricate embroidery, carrying deep symbolic aspects of Yao culture, referencing connection to nature, agricultural fertility and the intergenerational prosperity and longevity of the village. Each jacket is an individually crafted expression of the artisan, making no two pieces the same.
