The Shan Highlands
Jim Thompson / FabricsDrawing from the rich traditions of the diverse local tribes nestled in the valleys and foothills of The Shan Highlands, this collection showcases an array of intricate embroideries, textured weaves, botanical motifs, and chinoiserie prints. These designs vividly capture the vibrant hues and patterns inspired by the region's lush tropical flora and indigenous vegetation.
The Shan Highlands span across a vast mountainous region, stretching from the remote corners of Yunnan in Southern China to Myanmar and Northern Thailand. Unlike its towering neighbor, the Himalayas, this lesser-known area is home to numerous ethnic tribal groups. Their vibrant cultures and way of life serve as the inspiration behind this captivating collection.
