To inherit the oustanding historical cultural legacies of the hill tribes people, EthnoEcho offers you the unique pieces selected for quality, authenticity and value.

Hill tribe women in general draw on a staggering array of decorative devices from both the natural world and the modern. These combinations may startle uninitiated visitors, but they soon find that their aesthetic sense, in the tribal environment, quickly accepts the local norms. And they leave with the feeling that traditional dress makes even tribal "plain Janes" look fetching. When city women go shopping for clothes and jewelry they purchase ready-made items. Hill women make their own outfits and only buy the components. Some tribal women weave their own cloth as well. They weavers lay in decorative patterns while the cloth is still on the loom. Sometimes they weave belts and shoulder-bag cloth, but buy the the main costume parts in bolts of different colors. Some do not weave, but like the Hmong/Miao are meticulous embroiderers.

Girls of all tribes become adept with spindles, needles and thread at an early age, not from any formal training, but just by copying what their big sisters and mothers are doing. In the most remote villages, where tribes have to make their own clothes because they can't afford to buy any, females of all ages spin thread whenever their hands are free and there's enough light from the sun, the moon or an oil lamp. And they learn to weave as soon as their legs are long enough to reach the threadles.
