Mixed Threads & Materials
Handmade by the Yao, Muang Sing, Luang Namtha Province
Traditional Collar, Layered Edging and Embroidery Motifs

The traditional Yao jacket has always been a Ma Té Sai favorite, but the original length and shape was difficult to sell. Our modification maintains the spirit and hand-technique of the traditional jackets but with a more modern flare.

As part of our Muang Sing Project, Ma Té Sai works with women in remote areas of Northern Laos to design and develop fresh product and provide access to the international market. Purchase of this product directly provides income to each individual woman, as well as their families and their village. 

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.
