Laotian hand weaving by women designers on display at Luang Prabang exhibition

In Laos, the art of traditional hand weaving is passed down by women from generation to generation. The work of five women designers is being showcased at HERitage: A Celebration of Lao Women in Handicraft, an exhibition organised by the Sofitel Luang Prabang hotel, which was once a former French colonial governor’s residence in the northern Laotian city of Luang Prabang.
