Intricate and modern ikat patterns are always being adjusted to keep up with a demanding Thai market. After being woven, fabrics are then sewn at Sengsavang, a vocational training centre for women at risk of trafficking and sexual abuse. Purchasing these items help keep the indigo ikat tradition alive, and enables Sengsavang to continue with their important work in this high-risk area.

Our products are locally made with natural materials by the hands of artisans we trust. Slight variation in color, texture, and pattern are common and are celebrated, as products may be produced by several different women.

We trade with and provide training for many of our artisans to improve their skills and increase income for their families. Because so many of our artisans live in remote communities, our efforts help provide access to markets their personal networks are unable to reach.
