Ornaments 🐘🐴🐈‍⬛🐕🫎

The season is turning quickly! More and more people are buying our ornaments.

We can't adore our ornaments more. I'd like to re-introduce them here.

From Laos, we work with Tai Lue and Lanten artisans. Those lovely stuffed ornaments of elephants, cats, dogs, and horses are made by the Tai Lue. Typically in indigo but also other soft organic colours, they use their handspan cotton fabrics and adorn the ornaments with their traditional textiles and cute pom poms. Lantens are skilled embroiders and they make our colourful elephants with stitches🩷💙

Our Cambodian artisans use their beautiful Khmer silks to create a variety of ornaments of stars, elephants, trees, deers, and festive balls. Their skills are amazing, shown in the details of the animals and in the use of sparkling beads! We have long worked with these landmine & polio victim artisans. They never cease to impress us!

Our ornaments are all on display in our shop while new ones are arriving as we speak.

What say you? Come and join us!

Floating Summer

What a glorious summer we've had! Away from the intense heat in the city, we had a wonderful hiatus to the mountains in Hakone.

Silk clothing fit right in the mountainous cool. Especially loved our new scarves!

How was your summer?

Our New Blankets

Our new collection of blankets are here! And they are beautiful.

Each time new blankets come off the loom, it takes my breath away. There are no limits to what these weavers can create! New weaves, new patterns, new colour combinations. Their skills and passion never cease to amaze me.

I remember my visit to their village and their happy faces when they are at their looms. Sometimes there are two or three people sitting in front of the loom, side by side. Often they are the weaver's children or siblings. They must've been doing this for generations. I feel very proud to have their handwoven blankets in my shop.

Our latest come in beautiful shades of green, cream, beige, yellow, blue, and grey. All feel so fluffy and soft, the kind you can only expect from handweaving. Wouldn't it be a true luxury, in this age of mass production, to own something this beautiful that is made by hand? I sure feel that way!

Come and see our new blankets!

Village Accessories
～Necklace & Bracelet～

What draws me to Laos is their kaleidoscope of hill tribe culture. There are more than 50 ethnic groups throughout Laos, each of whom cherish their traditional culture and arts.

While my ultimate interest is textiles, I love small things that villagers make using their handwork. Colourful accessories such as these are so adorable!

Bracelets are hand-stitched by Lanten ethnic people. They mainly reside in northern Laos. They are known for their dark indigo dyeing as well as needlework. We also have their lovely ornaments, which are very popular all year around.

Necklaces are made by Akha ethnic artisans. Akhas also reside in the mountainous northern Laos. These bead necklaces adorned with embroidered buttons will spice up any outfit! I love ethnic accents 🧡

Come and see our village artistry!

Romancing Summer

Continuing with our dreamy summer.

Today's number is a silk organza cardigan.

Silk organza has two distinctive features. One is its sheer quality and the other is its crisp texture. Organza fabric is created by a low-density plain weave which attributes to transparency and breathability. Crispness of the fabric comes from using unprocessed raw silk that carries natural protein gum called serisin. Raw silk yarns are very tightly twisted, which adds incredible tensile strength, making this delicate fabric durable.

I love that the sheerness of the fabric makes the clothes look so effortlessly romantic..! Super light-weight, it keeps you cool in these warm summer months.

Organza can be very sophisticated, but pair it with pants and a belt for an elegant work outfit. Or let it flow for a chic Boheman look.

Dreamy summer continues...

Summer Rhapsody in Silk

Summer is here! And we have the perfect summer wardrobe for you 🕶🌞🪸🐠

Our soft, dreamy colours are back. After all, these powdery hues are what boheme's known for and who wouldn't be in the mood for that in summer!

Silk is like a breeze. It is so light and being a natural fibre, it is breathable. Did you know silk absorbs and RELEASES moisture, so it keeps you dry? Lightweight means it is great for travelling - it does not take up space in your luggage and it packs so small..! You can also wash silk (handwash please for handwoven silk) with shampoo, and it dries in no time.

Our shibori (tie-dyed) silk clothes are great for summer. Tie-dye gives an instant Bohemian feel, while silk gives a bit of a sophisticated look. Go casual with white pants or a nice Tee in the daytime, and dress up in the evening with silk scarves! boheme clothes are very versatile. And the colours to die for!

Happy Summer!

New Scarf Arrival

Our latest arrival of scarves are here!

Our popular shibori scarves 'Waterdrop' have been restocked.

Waterdrop patterns are created by rolling the fabric around rope and compressing/scrunching the rolled fabric before being dipped in dye bath. While it is a relatively simple process, it needs to be done consistently, meaning it is quite laborious. Since the fabric is wide, it requires 2 people rolling the fabric from both ends and scrunching it neatly. The technique is one of the ancient Japanese shibori techniques, creating cloud-like patterns.

I love the look of this pattern and find it rather poetic. Apart from restocking some African earth hues, lovely blues are added to the collection. Now all at emgallery!
