Cotton shoulder bag, 'Lahu Rainbow'
Thailand's luminous rainbows inspire this bag, crafted in the tradition of the Lahu hill tribe. Sewn by hand, the appliqu� work is rich in color. The Lahu people live in Thailand, China and Myanmar and have developed a unique form of appliqu� and embroidery work to supplement their community's income. The bag is fully lined. It features an inner pocket with zipper, and the bag itself zips closed. Each piece is a personal expression of the individual artisan, thus the colors and their arrangement can vary from that pictured.
