Explore our Hmong Batik Beach Tote from the Oases Collection, a captivating piece handcrafted with traditional batik techniques by skilled women artists in Northern Thailand.
Crafted by the talented Hmong hill tribe ladies, this tote is a true work of art. The intricate process involves stamping hot wax designs onto cotton textiles using large copper blocks. The wax outlines preserve the fabric's original color, creating a canvas for vibrant indigo and other dye hues. After boiling to remove the wax, the result is the stunning bag you see above!
Adorned with handcrafted pompoms and featuring a lively, colorful elephant, this tote is more than a bag; it's a celebration of artistry and culture.
Zippered closure with inside pockets.
