Karen Table Runner
This hand-woven product will be very original on your table! It is a product from 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 table runner 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. Our range carries a large choice of colours and sizes for this table runner, so juste choose the one who prefer!
When you buy this handcraft, 60% of its price goes to the craftsman. You will enjoy the use of this handcrafted table runner and its quality, and at the same time have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
