Traditionally, rural villages in Vietnam produced handicrafts when they were not
busy with planting or harvesting crops. Over time, many villages developed the
expertise to make specialised products and so particular villages became famous
for such things as weaving, woodwork, lacquer work and metal products.
With industrialisation many villagers moved to the cities but maintained their craft
skills and networks to produce products for the city market, for example craft
villages make furniture, grow flowers or make utensils for the urban population.
