All the national races residing in Myanmar have their own traditional costumes. These national races adoringly wear traditional hand-woven clothes called Gyet Khoat and weaving clothes. Chin people are one of them.

So, in today’s program, we’d like to present about Chin traditional Gyet Khoat clothes with charming and attractive design.

As Chin State is a frigid region, Chin nationals weave their traditional costumes with wool. If you start to weave a Gyet Khoat cloth, firstly you have to make the wool into a ball. After that, these wool balls are spanned again to be more impact and stronger. Then set the wool on the loom. At this stage you can combine the colour as you like to get the design you want. It is the first and most important step. Then in the next step, you can weave the cloth with desired flower patterns.

Making floral pattern is very exquisite and intricate. You can make clothes, shawls and longyis with the Gyet Khoat cloths. Moreover, nowadays, handbags with modern design are adoringly used by Chin women.

Chin nationals value Gyet Khoat clothes and adorn as their traditional costumes on the significant days, in performing traditional victory dances and at ceremonial harvest festivals.

Chin women preserve their traditional costumes by weaving at home. Furthermore, they can earn their income on a manageable scale by running Gyet Khoat weaving industry as a domestic economy.
