Artisan

Multi-award winning Mulberries is a Fair Trade company that seek to creates employment for Lao people in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The production of traditional silk is a labour intensive project which can involve many people in many different aspects of the community. From the growing of mulberry trees to the creation of natural dyes, hand-crafted silk production utilises local labour, local knowledge, and local resources. This, in turn, encourages village self-sufficiency and productivity.

Handmade and naturally dyed, Lao silk speaks of the gentle strength of the people who produce it.
