Karen Hill Tribe Silver

The Karen tribe has been silversmithing jewelry in SE Asia for hundreds of years. Bibi first saw their beautiful work when she was living in Malaysia, back in 2004, and fell in love with the craftsmanship and traditional designs. Since then, it has become more and more difficult to find those traditional designs as silversmiths move to jobs that pay more money, or make more modern designs that are easier to sell.

We prioritize the traditional designs, and work directly with a group of women in northern Thailand, who work with multiple tribal silversmiths, allowing us to support the local economies of several marginalized communities.
