Patchworks come from tribal weavings around the globe, from Northern Thailand hill tribe’s people of Phrae province, populated by the Mlabri ethnic group (people of the forest), called “the most interesting and least understood people in Southeast Asia”.Only about 400 or fewer Mlabri remain in the world today, with some estimates as low as 100. A hill tribe in northern Thailand along the border with Laos, they have been groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers. Those in Thailand live close to the Hmong and northern Thai. Those living in Laos live close to other ethnic groups. The fabrics are all handmade by the Mlabri communities, using traditional techniques which they pass down from generation to generation.
