THIS APRON PHOTOGRAPHED IS THE ACTUAL PIECE YOU WILL RECIEVE. THIS IS THE ONLY ETHNIC APRON I HAVE, IT IS CERTAINLY A ONE-OFF PIECE OF GORGEOUS TEXTILE ART.  

THE APRON DEPICTS EVERYDAY LIFE IN A HMONG VILLAGE IN NORTHERN LAOS. THE LADIES OF THESE REMOTE VILLAGES STILL HAND SEW EACH STITCH OF THESE BEAUTIFUL APRONS. 

THERE MAY BE TINY INCONSISTENCIES IN THE SEWING OF THE APRON, BUT THIS IS THE CHARM OF A HANDCRAFTED TEXTILE FROM A RURAL VILLAGE IN LAOS.    THIS APRON IS AN OLIVE GREEN COLOUR WITH VIBRANT COTTON THREAD OF ALL COLOURS USED IN THE EMBROIDERY. 

THIS TEXTILE IS A HAND CRAFTED WORK OF ART THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND QUAINT. IT WILL LOOK LOVELY AND HOMELY HANGING IN YOUR KITCHEN AND BEAUTIFUL TO WEAR.

NO TWO LAOS SILKS ARE THE SAME. EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT IN COLOUR COMBINATIONS AND DESIGNS VARY. THE WORK IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INTRICATE. SCARVES TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO COMPLETE WEAVING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PARTICUALR COLOUR PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR REQUEST AND I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU.

DURING A RECENT TRIP TO LAOS WE CAME ACROSS A GORGEOUS VILLAGE ONLY ACCESSABLE BY RIVER BOAT. HERE THE LADIES STILL METICULOUSLY HAND WEAVE FROM PURE SILK LUXURIOUS TEXTILES. THE WEAVERS HAND PICK INTRICATE BROCADE PATTERNS. THE TEXTILES HAVE TRIBAL AND RITUAL SIGNIFICANCE AND ARE WORN BY THE LOCALS AND USED AS BUDDIST TEMPLE OFFERINGS.
