Lahu Wallet
As a gift from Thailand or for a personal use, this wallet is the perfect item! This original handcrafted product comes from the range of Thai Tribal Crafts, a self-help marketing agency established in Chiang Mai since 1973 and whose main goal is to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life of the tribal people in Northern Thailand.

The pattern of this item has been crafted in the Lahu tribal community. The Lahu have about 73,500 people living in Thailand. The Lahu women do unusual weaving and patch work trims while the men are skilled in producing musical instruments and other items from bamboo.

Lahu people traditionally grew their own cotton, but this activity is no more possible due to the land limitation: nowadays, they purchase it at the market. Then, they weave cloth using back-strap and foot-treadle looms. Finally, the cloth is decorated with various techniques: patch-work appliqu?, embroidery, bands of cloth or silver buttons.

After the production of the traditional pattern in the village, women in Chiang Mai assemble the cloths and the materials in order to finish the wallet. 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. As a customer of Thai tribal Crafts, you will enjoy the use of high-quality wallet, and at the same time have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
