Karen Top: Handwoven & Embroidered Natural Dye Top from Northern Thai Karen Artisans

From the mountain tribes of Northern Thailand—the Karen people, an ancient ethnic group renowned for their weaving skills. Beyond their famous textiles, silver jewelry is also a traditional craft of this community. This straight-cut top is crafted from fabric, woven by hand on a shuttle loom. The colors are derived from natural plant or mineral dyes, adorned with intricate, purely handmade embroidery. Its simple yet refined craftsmanship, is utterly captivating! **Due to the rice-based sizing used for easier weaving,** **the fabric may feel slightly stiff upon first receipt.** **It will become increasingly soft after washing.** For plant-dyed items, we recommend air-drying by hanging, away from direct sunlight!
