You cannot walk into a store with hopes of buying anything nearly as comfortable and well crafted as the hand-woven dresses we found in Ethiopia.

The fluffy white cotton that surrounds the plant’s seed is collected and woven into thread. As part of their daily routine.

There is nothing more pure than 100% Ethiopian cotton.

 Feel the weightlessness of the raw cotton as it touches your skin.

Sense the delicate breeze as the light and airy dress moves with the wind. Be rejuvenated by the warming sun as it reflects light off of the white fabric.

Each time you put it, it’s worn a little different. You fasten a new knot, tighten your bow, or leave it dangling loosely—you wear the scarf as it wears on you, your emotions, your style and your sense of self.

You share in its beauty and find comfort in its embrace. You start to recognize its smell, its feel, each and every time its draped upon your shoulders.

Tunics from Thailand

Though traditional robes and garments may be elaborate and complex, wearing a tunic dress  is simple and easy. Feel as though you are a part of the Hill Tribe of Northern Thailand as you dress in one of their most recognizable and distinct pieces of clothing. Know for their headpieces, jewelry and embroidered robes, members of the Hill Tribe graciously shared with FTWWL some of their handmade tunics along with a few tricks of the trade on how-to pull of such a piece.

 

Take a close look at the patterns, stitching and design of each tunic. No two are alike but when worn, you will look a beautiful and elegant as the Hill women themselves. Each tunic was dyed by hand, on natural silks. Creating the colors and detailed patterns takes precision and much practice. Using rich and fadeless colors such as red, indigo and violet, these tunics cannot compare to anything else.

Notice the rainbow of colored thread? That too is dyed by hand and woven individually, stitch by stitch. Using heartwood roots, barks, fruits and fresh leaves, each color is produced by pressing and concentrating the materials and bonding the fabric and dyes with a mordant.

Add beaded bracelets, a braided headpieces, charms and necklaces or nothing at all – these tunics can add to any look or make a statement on their own. More handmade tunics, shawls and scarfs from the tribes people of the Hill Tribe can be yours! The FTWWL store is you way of connecting with the people native to Thailand. by purchasing their goods you are contributing towards their efforts to continue in the production of traditional clothing and accessories.
