Karen Passport Bag
This passport bag will be very useful and at the same time an original accessory while traveling! It is a product from Thai Tribal Crafts, a self-help marketing agency established in Chiang Mai since 1973 with the main goal to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life of the tribal people in Northern Thailand.
This bag has been 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 that is decorated with Job's tear-seeds and woven patterns. These patterns are reflected on the range of Karen products offered by Thai Tribal Crafts.
When you buy this handcraft, 60% of its price goes to the craftsman. You will enjoy the use of this passport bag, and at the same time have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
