Hmong Stocking
These colourful and handmade stocking will bring joy in your house during Christmas! Moreover, being a customer of Thai Tribal Crafts means that you help this self-help marketing agency established in 1973, whose main goal is to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life of the tribal people in Northern Thailand.
The cloth of these stockings has been crafted in the Hmong tribal community. There are about 124,500 Hmong people living in Thailand, divided into two sub-groups: Blue and White Hmong. Hmong men are skilled at blacksmithing and gunsmithing, while women are renowned for their needlework.
Blue Hmong women are the only producers of batik cloth among the tribal people. This pattern, as well as appliqu? and embroidery, is used to decorate many traditional clothing.
After the production of the traditional pattern in the village, raw materials are given to women in Chiang Mai who assemble the cloths and materials and finish the stockings. This process of production with skilled and trained men and women at each step ensures high-quality products.
When you buy this handcraft, 60% of its price goes to the craftsmen. You will enjoy the use of this product, and have at the same time the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
