Made by the Hmong people of Laos, these fabrics showcase the fine artistry and craft passed down through generations of women. Originally used to make skirts, the textiles were hand-woven from hemp yarns and batik dyed with indigo. Brightly colored patterns were then hand-appliqued and embroidered to represent cultural beliefs and a strong respect for the natural world. These textiles are carefully preserved and custom framed with archival-quality materials by a family-run company in Ohio.
