Lao silk

Lao silk is produced in Laos with ancient weaving techniques that produce high quality silk. This woven cloth has traditionally been used for a wide range of purposes, including religious, ritual, and everyday uses. It is used for garments and home decorations by both upper class and rural individuals.[1][2] Traditional patterns use bold color combinations, such as red and yellow.[3]
