Looking for a peaceful escape where the gentle clatter of weaving looms tells stories from centuries past? Step into Cam Ne Mat Village – one of Da Nang’s oldest and most unique traditional craft villages. Here, each mat is more than a product; it is a living soul of Vietnamese culture, once chosen as a tribute to the Nguyen royal court.

Unique Mat Weaving Art

• The Fragrance of Rush, the Colors of the Land
  Although rush grass isn’t grown locally, Cam Ne’s artisans meticulously select, hand-dye, and sun-dry each strand in vibrant shades of green, red, yellow, indigo, and purple. The result? Rows of brightly colored rushes lining village paths, painting a stunning rural landscape with their distinct scent and natural hues.
• Hand-Woven Floral Patterns: Exquisite Craftsmanship
  Unlike other mat-making villages, the floral motifs on Cam Ne mats aren’t printed – they’re skillfully woven by arranging hand-dyed rush strands during the weaving process. This technique demands incredible dexterity, patience, and an artistic eye, creating vivid and unique designs on every mat.
• Superior Quality: Tradition Meets Comfort
  Cam Ne mats are renowned for their durability, thickness, and soft comfort. Each mat, whether plain or patterned, features carefully folded and reinforced edges for extra strength. Crafted with dedication, Cam Ne mats offer a cooling sensation in summer and warmth in winter, reflecting the care and pride of their makers.
