Sop Moei Arts
Karen Hilltribe Cotton Cushion
45 × 45 cm
฿2,600
Backstrap-loomed by Karen weavers in Mae Hong Son.
Sop Moei Arts works with Karen villages in Mae Hong Son, paying weavers directly and running the design side rather than buying whatever comes off the loom.
Backstrap weaving produces narrow panels, which is why the cushion is seamed down the middle. That seam is the mark of the method, not a fault.
