TRADITIONAL ARTS AND ETHNOLOGY CENTRE (TAEC)

Discover the people and cultures of Laos. View our small batch artisanal pieces on display from 7-11 September 2023 in the Unique and Eclectic - Hall 8, Stand A90.

Honouring traditional craftsmanship and cultural expression, TAEC sells handmade pieces of heritage directly from the hands of village artisans. In Laos, textiles represent community, belonging, and identity. We believe that by elevating artisanal crafts, investing in knowledge and skills passed down from generation to generation, traditional techniques can be kept alive and thriving. We are a women-owned social enterprise, founded in 2007 to promote Laos’ ethnic minority cultures and rural livelihoods based on traditional skills.
