Laos Essential Artistry is a husband and wife business. Peter is an educator in Sacramento and Bai is currently a waitress in a several Thai restaurants in Sacramento.
Mission: Laos is our passion and we are proud to feature some of the finest in Lao silk textiles and handicrafts. All our textiles are hand-woven or hand-embroidered and reflect artisan excellence, coming from weavers, artists, and galleries where we have taken the time to establish personal, professional and principled relationships.
At Laos Essential Artistry we understand that the quality of a textile is dependent on the structure of the weave and not just the visual appearance of its fibers, and we like to think that all the weavers, artisans and galleries that we represent, “the individual yarns and varying patterns,” are woven together cohesively and meaningfully in a way that provide the opportunity for people to develop a better understanding and appreciation of these incredibly talented weavers and artisans in Laos.
