The Bamdian, or apron, is considered a symbol of Tibetan women because of its eye-catching colors and design. As an indispensable part of female dress in Tibet, this beautifully woven woolen fabric, usually no wider than 12 cm (5 inches), displays different decorations and colors to distinguish between the young and the old, commoners and nuns.
The best aprons in Tibet are produced in the town of Gyaidexiu, Gonggar County. One of the eight ancient towns in Tibet, Gyaidexiu is renowned as the 'home of aprons' not only for its more than 500 year history in apron production, but also for the quality of the garments produced. This quality results from the scrupulous selection of materials, the exquisite weaving skills and conspicuously bright colors of the aprons produced. After a complicated process of spinning, weaving and repeated dyeing, the Gyaidexiu aprons boast good durability, with the colors remaining unfaded through the years.
Once exclusively for the use of married women, in present-day Tibet the Bamdian has become favoured among young girls. It is also regarded by tourists. With its rainbow-like design, it characterises the streets of Tibetan cities and towns. As well as Gyaidexiu, Dranang County is also notable for its age-old weaving industry. Here one can find a wide range of pulu products, another characteristic Tibetan woolen fabric. In Lhasa , Tsedang, as well as other Tibetan cities, the colorful Bamdian and pulu are easy to find.
