Artisan Hoang Thi Khuong in Quat Dong village said that her workshop signed dozens of contracts with Japanese and Korean customers in early months.

It costs VND 500,000 to purchase a large-sized portrait of celebrities, famous artists embroidered on fine cloth with skillful technology. A 70x90cm embroidered painting costs more than VND 5 million.

An ordered portrait costs at least VND 3.5 million and is delivered one week later.
