Cotton 'Rainbow Parallels' Medium Handbag (Thailand)
This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic. Shaped like a honeycomb, this is a fascinating sample of the Lahu hill tribe's textile artistry. The cotton bag is crafted in Thailand with the 'pha tap' technique, which folds strips of colorful cloth into an extraordinary composition.

'My hometown is a trading town. My aunt began by buying textiles from people and selling to others. Later, she started to design her own textiles. She needs many people to help her, so I am here to help and have learned her craft. Embroidery is a traditional skill for the women in our area. Displaying our work to the world lets us support people from our village by offering them more work,' she says. What is Worldstock?
