Vietnam_ Bambous et Chapeaux Conniques , charmes du Sud _
In Vietnam, the name is nón lá (leaf hat). Images of it were embossed on Ngoc Lu drums about 2500 to 3000 years ago. Among conical hats, the nón lá of the Vietnamese forms a perfect right circular cone which tapers smoothly from the base to the apex. Nón lá are notable for their romantic and timelessly crafted adornments. Special conical hats in Vietnam contain colourful hand-stitch depictions or words while the Huế varieties are famous for their nón bài thơ (literally: poem conical hats). These contain random poetic verses and Hán tự which can be revealed when the hat is directed above one’s head in the sunlight. Now, it’s becoming a part of national costume of Vietnam. _(WIKIPEDIA)

Depuis des siècles, le nón lá (chapeau conique tissé à partir de feuilles de palmier) est l’objet quotidien des femmes vietnamiennes. L’image du nón lá fulgure même sur des objets anciens tels que tambours de bronze de Ngoc Lu et jarres de bronze de Dào Thinh, datés de 2500 à 3000 ans.
Avec le temps, le nón lá a subi de nombreux changements en termes de style et de matériaux. À l’origine, le nón lá était tissé et tressé. Ce n’est qu’au 3e siècle av. JC, quand le fer a été utilisé, que les gens ont commencé à utiliser des aiguilles pour coudre les feuilles du nón lá.
Les matériaux pour la fabrication sont des plus simples, le principal étant des feuilles et des fibres du palmier Moc (ces derniers maintenant remplacés par des fils de nylon). L’armature est en bambou. (Le Guide Francophone-Vietnam)
