Miao Cross Body Bag, Black

Artisan work of a mountain tribe in China. These ancient cultures have no written language. Instead, their stories are recorded through textiles; literally storycloth, where embroidered and woven symbols carry history. Stories are interwoven in warp and weft, and expressed through figured shape.

These groups are losing their heritage, as people depart remote areas in search of modern jobs.

Precise and beautiful texture in black.
