Hmong Wallet
This original unique wallet is a product from the range offered by 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 wallet 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.
Men are skilled in blacksmithing and gunsmithing, while women are renowned for their needlework. Moreover, Blue Hmong women are the only producers of batik cloth among the tribal people. These batik patterns are used to decorate the traditional clothing as well as appliqu? and embroidery.
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 products. 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 using this beautiful wallet, and while using it you will have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
