This is a **vintage embroidered vest (褂子・馬甲)** for women, handcrafted from handwoven coarse cotton fabric and hand embroidery, originating from the Hani ethnic group in Yunnan Province, China.

The texture of the coarsely handwoven cotton fabric, which cannot be replicated by machine weaving, is unique. Subtle yet rhythmic geometric embroidery is applied throughout the deep, dark fabric.

Both the sewing and embroidery are done by hand, giving this ethnic garment, which has been worn as everyday clothing for a long time, a quiet presence.
