Material:

•    100% Lao high-quality cotton
•    Authentic handmade with loom
•    Twisted fringes 
•    Naturally dyed
 
Properties:
 
Cotton scarves are lightweight, soft, and also hypoallergenic. Cotton is a breathable fabric, therefore regulates the body temperature keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter.
 
History:
 
Laos is one of the poorest countries in the world. During the Vietnam War, it was heavily bombed. Duds and minefields still endanger the population. In addition, the autocratic government has not been able to provide the residents with a comprehensive health system, a functioning infrastructure, independent legal authorities, or a good educational system. Unemployment is high. Still, villagers mostly pursue subsistence farming, growing rice, and herding small livestock. 
 
Product Care:

Wash the fabric in cold/lukewarm water, ideally by hand, and shade dry. Salting the water slightly helps prevent further dye loss.
Do not soak.
 

Attention:
 
The handmade nature of textiles in my shop means that they may have imperfections from the natural process of weaving or dying, often adding to their character and uniqueness.
 
Colors may differ ever so slightly from the pictures due to different viewing monitors/device displays.
 

Our mission is to support ethnic minorities, protect their heritage, and support the educational needs of the children of the Tribes.
We want you to THINK about the impact that your choices have on the environment, other people, and their cultures.
 
We buy directly from Tribes around the world to encourage the younger generations to learn their ancestor's handcraft which is an important part of their culture. In recent years, most younger members of the Tribes are moving to bigger cities looking for jobs and better lives.
We hope that by providing them opportunities to earn extra income learning and making the traditional handcraft in their home villages we can change this trend and protect the Tribes craft from extinction.
The second part of our mission is supporting children's education.
 
A percentage of our profits is invested in education so every child can learn to read and write, giving them a fair chance at a prosperous life beyond poverty and homelessness.
