These are beautiful handwoven items from the Nanthavongduangsy Family in Laos. This is a cottage industry that trains women from villages from all over the contry in the traditional designs, dyes and structures. They return to their homes to weave as a supplementary income to farming and raising their families. Phaeng Mai Gallery supplies the silk for the weavers and buys back their handwoven items and finds markets all over the world for these exquisite works.

This is a consciencious way of supporting cottage industry which promotes a traditional lifestyle which is vital to the economy, heritage and mental health of poorer countries.

Usually their are no two pieces alike. We have a huge variety of colours (most naturally dyed, some synthetically dyed), patterns, sizes and prices.
