Shui-Meng Ng of Saoban Crafts: Lao Handcrafts Connect to Livelihood and Well-Being
When I returned to Laos in February 2017, I had the opportunity to interview Shui-Meng Ng, founder of the fair trade artisan enterprise Saoban Crafts in Vientiane, Laos.
Her thoughtful and experienced perspective on Lao handcrafts was unparalleled: “Laos handcrafts cannot be separated from the livelihood of the community and their well-being—their physical well-being, spiritual well-being, and cultural expression—all this is part of their life.”
She speaks further about how traditional woven textiles are an expression of a belief system through their motifs, how the environment is a direct reflection of their material culture, and how changes in Laos are impacting the continuation of traditional handcrafts.
The stories we’re sharing offers a glimpse into Laos village life, bringing you closer to inspiring women, nature’s gifts, and cultural expression both traditional and present.

Vientiane Times: Fair Trade Laos at Vientiane's WIG Bazaar
Walking around Vientiane's WIG Bazaar, Laos, last weekend it was clear that many local Lao producers are finding success in the domestic and international marketplace, but as demand for Lao products grows so does the need to help its producers.
Two years ago Fair Trade Laos was established by a small group of Lao businesspeople and NGOs hoping to use principles of fair trade to help ensure that local producers are directly benefiting from the increased trade of their products in Vientiane and around the world.
Coordinated by Veronique Kittirath from the Bokeo Social Enterprise and including volunteers like Saoban's Bandith Ladpakdy, the group is primarily trying to provide information about the benefits and concepts of fair trade to producers, consumers and government.
Adopting fair trade practices has helped Lao enterprises, such as Saoban and the Bokeo Social Enterprise, to become known for their fair and sustainable business practices. Along with reputations for high quality locally produced products they have achieved success in the local and international marketplaces.
