Weaving in Laos: Cherished Cultural Heritage

The culture and history of Laos is woven into the delicate motifs, mythical symbols, and the storytelling figures on the fine fabrics of their sarongs, traditional skirts, and head cloths. Weaving is a family skill that’s passed between generations of Laotian women who make all the clothes of their household. The rich cultural content and spiritual symbolism reflected in the exquisite fabrics make weaving an invaluable heritage of Laos.
