The Laos Krang’s cotton weaving handicraft community originated from the inheritance of ancient cultures and traditions of the Lao Krang ethnic group that immigrated from Laos 300 years ago. Lao Krang people are proficient in weaving cloth such as silk and cotton Sinh (Laos skirt). The basic of the tradition is the ‘Krang’, an ancient process of dyeing and the skillful assembly of cloth pieces to form intricate patterns that are distinctive to the group. Group weavers produce Sinh skirts and other products for sale in the community centre. The weavers receive most of the income, the centre adding just 10% for merchanting.
