Description
Bundles of brightly colored scarves pile up on counters while superb silk wall hangings, shawls and traditional Lao skirts flutter on the walls of the many stalls in this market. Colorful, finely woven silk predominates as weaving is the most widely practiced craft in Laos. As each province and ethnic minority uses distinctive styles and patterns, there is a vast array of choices on offer.
Also available is a small selection of Western-style clothes made from local fabrics, as well as Hmong embroidery and cutwork, chunky silver jewelry and lots of bags.
