On a journey to southeast Asia, Pat found herself in a quaint community in Vietnam tucked away between expansive emerald rice fields and narrow unpaved roads. Her visit fell during the off-season from farming, a time in which rice farmers and skillful artisans dutifully harvested silk for the community. Watching how the process unfolds, traditional weaving techniques, rich artistry, and especially Shibori. Completely taken by the beauty and quality of the natural silk, traditional techniques, and craftmanship; Pat formed a partnership directly with the farmers and artisans. This opportunity enabled Lua to tell the story of the community through their signature collections of fair-trade handmade fashion accessories.Read their story
