Sanlao is a Franco-Laotian project which intends developing the export of Lao craftsmanship, which is especially known for its natural silk, woodcraft and work on Saa Paper. "San lao" literally means " Lao Craftsman ". Craftsmanship is one of the great riches this country has to offer, but which, because of its previous isolation from the outside world, was not known for a very long time.
We have selected a certain number of craftsmen who work exceptionally well, whilst, at the same time, trying to choose only small craftsmen and small companies, who only work with local, natural (...)

Just under 2 miles from the centre of Luang Prabang, the village of ban Xieng Lek has specialised for many years in manufacturing and selling products made from silk and Saa Paper (paper made from the bark of the Mulberry Tree).

A little more than a mile from The Phon Phau Temple, this small and very typical village exists mainly due to the manufacture of woven goods which they expose on the night market.
This village very quickly became one of the acknowledged suppliers of the King (at the time when the country was ruled by a King) who was said to have bought a large quantity. The village is full of history, culture, and a weaving experience that you can still find in some other villages in Laos (Luang Namtha, Sam Neua, etc.) where methods, techniques, and patterns are still those of old times.

Lao silk is a wild silk, and is defined by its exclusively hand-made method of manufacture.
Because of this, it has a more unrefined look, which is more natural, not as smooth as its Indian, European and Chinese counterparts, which makes it noble, natural, and most of it is 100% bio.
Pure craftsmanship, with no machines
Nearly all the silk manufacturing countries (Japan, China, Thailand, etc.) have chosen to industrialize their craft, especially because the cost for the workers they need, is more and more expensive. Laos stays one of the countries where natural silk is ordinary and (...)
