Lisu Glasses Case


This handcrafted item will soon become a necessary accessory to carry your glasses! Moreover, being a customer of Thai tribal Crafts means helping this self-help marketing agency established in 1973 with the main goal to provide opportunities for improving the quality of life of the tribal people in Northern Thailand.

The pattern of this product has been crafted in the Lisu tribal community, with velvet and silk. The Lisu have about 28,000 members living in Thailand. Other Lisu live in China and Burma.

They make vibrant colored patchwork cloth items. The traditional blue or green tunic worn by the Lisu women, made with machine-made cotton or synthetic material, is decorated with many bands of cloth of many bright colours. The patterns of these glasses cases reflect the traditional design used to decorate the women outfits.

When you buy this handcraft, 60% of its price goes to the craftsmen. You will enjoy the use of this glasses case and its quality, and at the same time you will have the satisfaction of knowing that this purchase will help the tribe to raise its standard of living.
