Our bag CULTURE is part of the HERITAGE SERIES (Bag2/8)

I would like to start by talking about this unique fabric.

This fabric is not from Germany like the other fabrics I use.

It is very difficult to set an age for that kind of fabric, but it should be at least  30- 40 years old. According to the seller, this fabric should come from the border region of Vietnam and Laos. Probably they are weavings of the ethnic groups "Thổ" or the "Mường" Tribe. As I am very interested in this, my research is not finished yet.

(And I would be very grateful for any tips or hints).
