Each one of these bibs are handstitched from used fabric and made by the Hmong artisans in Laos. They can be used on either side. One side shows an a animal and the other shows just a pattern. Not two are alike. Buy one or collect a few you'll love them. I've shown a few different ones so you get a sense of the look. They can be washed in cold water until you are sure they won't bleed.
I came across these in the marketplace along with the other items from Laos. You can read all about it in my blog.
Laos is the landlocked country located next to Vietnam and Thailand in Southeast Asia. The Hmong in Laos are mostly poor, rural farmers, but the incredible hand-stitched handicrafts they create are bought up quickly at local markets, giving them crucial funds to improve their standard of living.
