About JungleVine® Handmade Eco-Friendly Products

Handmade by indigenous Khmu artisans in Laos using handspun fiber from a wild-growing vine. The artisans harvest JungleVine® from around their villages, hand-spin the fiber, and then use it to make totes, purses, and bath and body exfoliation products. Everything is made in their homes and villages and never sees the inside of a factory. Our nonprofit, working in Laos for 19 years, helps preserve Khmu tribal culture and their ancient craft. We connect artisans with the global marketplace. JungleVine® Eco-Friendly Products are sold in boutiques in 28 countries and territories. Our project combats poverty in a land pockmarked by bomb craters and contaminated by UXO. We are a nonprofit in Des Moines, Iowa and our overhead costs are covered by a generous donor.Read their story
