Lowlanders will love the apparel and decor items from the Doi Tung hill tribes
THE DOI Tung Lifestyle Shop at Siam Discovery is urging everyone to help conserve the environment with a collection of refined handicrafts, home decor and clothing and accessories made by Chiang Rai artisans.
Adhering to a “zero-waste philosophy”, the craftsmen combine folk wisdom with modern techniques, keeping all the items simple and functional yet stylish.
The highlights include a Tropical Swaps blouse and dress in the colours of nature that reflect hilltribe culture, and breezy, cool scarves made from cotton and bamboo thread, ideal for the hot weather.
Hand-woven velvet pillows resemble the bamboo wall of a hill dweller’s house, and Ripple ceramic vases replicate typical tribal ornaments. Their silver jewellery and embroidery inspire attractive ceramic mugs.
