Miao Baby Carriers



Miao Baby Carriers is my personal collection of over 5,000 vintage embroidered Chinese baby carriers.  These beautiful creations of the Miao (Hmong), Dong, Zhuang, and other minority cultures are available, at no cost, for study or exhibit.

Read my article, "Collection Seeks Soul Mate" for more pictorial examples of the baby carriers and for history on why I began to collect them.
