Indigenous People

The traditional cloth making method and other crafts have been abandoned by indigenous people because of modern life style and industrial technology.

Please help support them by buying their product. 56% of sale proceed will go to the maker, meaning the indigenous people. They are the people who have a self-reliance life style.
