Lao Silk - Ock Pop Tok
Ock Pop Tok is a textile gallery and weaving center in Luang Prabang producing high-quality natural silk produced by local weavers. Their mission statement: To advance the artistic, cultural and social development of Lao artisans and their textiles while adhering to fair trade principles.
If you can't make the trip to Lao and stay for a night in Ock Pop Tok's incredibly chic 4-room Mekong villa, support local artisans by shopping for their beautiful silk scarves, saturated in color and produced with care.
