HANOI: Natural extracts from leaves and roots of plants are unique pigments used by craftspersons in the Ma Chau silk craft village of the former central province of Quang Nam (which has merged into Danang) to add stunning colours to the premium quality silk products, which were first traded back in the 15th century.

The use of organic dyes and pure mulberry silk has helped the Ma Chau silk brand to be the top choice for an eco-friendly fashion, in the modern era of green living.
