Multicolor Lisu Hill Tribe Applique on Black Cotton Backpack, "Lisu Rainbow Voyage"

Tightly sewn by hand, the multicolored appliqué panel on this shoulder bag is a veritable celebration of Lisu traditions. Kittiya designs this fabulous cotton backpack featuring three external pockets, one on the front, and the black lined interior includes one zipper pocket.

The Lisu hill tribe of northern Thailand make their own clothes by sewing row upon row of multicoloured stripes of cloth, appliqué, tassels, and beadwork. Their distinguishing style is the overlapping stripes which they create by mixing colors.
