This intricately woven tissue cover was hand embroidered by a member of the Hmong tribe. No more digging to find the bunched up ball at the bottom of your purse! An attractive way to store and protect your tissues, each tissue pack has its own unique design; no two are exactly alike.
The Hmong people live in mountainous regions of China, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. In Thailand there are approximately 124,500 Hmong people settled in villages throughout a wide area in the North. This group has supported itself for the most part by the cultivation of the opium poppy for many generations. Some of the Hmong people are turning from opium growing, and are now seeking to work through the market to sell their exquisite needlework in order to supplement their income.
Comes with a sealed pack of tissues. 65% Polyester, 35% Cotton.
