Lahu picnic baskets
Two kinds of Lahu picnic baskets are available in the range offered by Thai Tribal Crafts, a self-help marketing agency established in 1973 with the main goal to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life of the tribal people in Northern Thailand.
This item has been crafted in the Lahu tribal community. The Lahu have approximately 73,500 people living in Thailand. The women do unusual weaving and patchwork trims while the men produce musical instruments and other items from bamboo. Handicraft production enables them to support their families, and helps to restore and revive their traditional craft work.
These baskets have been made with bamboo and wooden. The Lahu have a good reputation as baskets makers. Their baskets, used for carrying cooked rice or weaving supplies, are popular among other tribal people. They also produce small open baskets and bigger covered storage baskets.
When you buy this handcraft, 60% of its price goes to the craftsmen. You will enjoy the use of this basket, appreciate its quality and have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
