Karen Letter Holder
This hand-woven letter holder will be an original and useful product in your house! It is a product from 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 product has been entirely crafted in the Karen tribal community. The Karen, also called "Kariang" or "Yang", are the largest tribal group living in Thailand. Sgaw and Pwo Karen, the two major divisions of the group, number about 321,900 people. Karen women are weavers, and men are skilled in making basketry.
Karen still spin thread from their own cotton, and then weave it on simple back-strap looms. Karen women wear the traditional blouse, decorated with Job's tear-seeds and woven patterns. These patterns are reflected on the range of Karen products offered by Thai tribal Crafts.
You will find different colours of this letter holder within our range, and also an all-purpose holder, useful to put all your things and not lose them!
When you buy this handcraft, 60% of its price goes to the craftsman. You will enjoy having this high-quality letter holder, and at the same time you will appreciate knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
