Black H'mong women in Sapa

Women and children from the Black H'mong tribe in Sapa make their living by selling their trademark indigo purses, clothing, and jewerly to tourists visting the city. Groups of vendors wait outside hotel doors to catch the interest of a willing customer. The women and children escort trekkers through the countryside in hopes of making a big sale at the final destination.
