Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Anchalika Chamnan uses traditional materials and motifs in a thoroughly contemporary shoulder bag. Giving a new look to northern Thai hilltribe embroidery, she applies it to strong black cotton, lined for strength. Two zippered pouches carry keys and change; a pocket on the shoulder strap will hold a mobile telephone. 100% cotton, plastic buckle. Hand wash only in warm water with mild detergent. Artisan Info: "My name is Anchalika Chamnan, I come from northern Thailand, which is considered to be the gate to Burma, Laos, and China. My hometown is renowned as a trading town and my family and relatives are involved in different types of trading. At present I am studying geography at the university but when I go home I stay with my aunt, since she works in the textile trade. "She began by buying textiles from people and selling to others. But about a year after that, she started to design her own textiles, transforming them into different types of work. She needs many people to help her, so I am here to help her out. And in so doing, I learn her craft. Even if embroidery is a traditional skill for the women in our area and everybody can do it, I still need to learn more about patterns to create more interesting pieces. "I am glad that we will have the chance to display our work
