Lawa Purse
This unique purse with is traditional pattern 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.
The pattern of this purse has been crafted in the Lawa tribal community. The Lawa live in villages in two provinces in the North of Thailand and have a population of about 16,000 people.
Lawa people traditionally supported their family by engaging in slash and burn agriculture, but need now other sources of income. Their handicraft production, including their beautiful silver work and their traditional black hand-woven cloth with tie-dye designs, enables them to support their families, and helps to restore and revive their traditional craft work.
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 high quality purse, and at the same time have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the Lawa tribe to raise its standard of living.
