"Lanna Charm" ~ Handcrafted Handbags, from Thailand
some of the ladies weaving silk, cotton and hemp fabrics.
The "Lanna" shoulder bag, above, is made from handwoven hemp and "batik" cotton, which we recycle from the skirts, below, (new) made by the "Hmong" hill tribe people of northern Thailand. These skirts are very heavy, as there is a lot of material in each skirt, because of the way the material is "gathered". You can see black, handwoven hemp in the upper section of the skirt, a band of batik cotton around the middle, and another band of handstitched hemp around the hem. This is our favorite material for making bags, as each skirt is unique, the personal style and character of the lady who handmade it displayed in the finished product. If you are interested in purchasing some of this wonderful material to make your own bags, please contact us at "Lanna Charm".
