Karen Top: Handwoven & Embroidered Blouse from Northern Thailand's Hill Tribe, Naturally Dyed

From the Karen hill tribe of Northern Thailand, an ancient people renowned for their weaving artistry. Beyond their celebrated textiles, silver craftsmanship is also a cherished traditional art form. 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, handcrafted embroidery. Its simple, warm, and enduring craftsmanship is truly captivating! **The fabric may feel slightly stiff upon first receipt due to the rice paste used in weaving,** **but it will become increasingly soft after washing.** For naturally dyed items, we recommend air-drying by hanging, avoiding direct sunlight!
