Embroidery proving major draw at bustling Guizhou market

One blogger described buying a small embroidered horse bag and wrote, "I felt like a mouse in a rice jar. I'll be back for sure."

Cai said modern tastes have helped fuel the market's appeal: "This jacket I'm wearing features Miao embroidery.

"We combined traditional embroidery with contemporary design and market demand, and that has drawn many young people."

Vendors say each piece carries its own history.
