Karen Note Book
This notebook is a product from the range offered by Thai Tribal, a self-help marketing agency established in 1973 and whose main goal is to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life of the tribal people in Northern Thailand.
We offer different sizes, colours and patterns in our notebook range. You are sure to find the one that will correspond to your needs!
The cloth of this notebook has been woven 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 men are skilled in making basketry, and women are noted for their weaving. They still spin thread from their own cotton, and then weave it on simple back-strap looms.
After the weaving of the traditional patterns 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 the use of this notebook and its quality, and as a customer of Thai Tribal Crafts you will have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
