The GreenHeart Textile Gallery

We offer a wide array of hand-woven, naturally dyed, indigenous silk textiles of exceptional quality. Antique and contemporary designs 100% made in Laos!

In Laos the majority of textiles use imported and synthetic materials. GreenHeart encourages the use of natural fibers and dyes, ensuring traditional skills and ancient knowledge are not forgotten.

Our textiles are predominantly from 6 villages in Northeastern Laos, providing the local weavers with a new sustainable livelihood. These textiles present a rare opportunity to acquire one-of-a-kind works of art.
