Sterling Silver Evening Bag

Eco Friendly Gifts for Women

This Exquisite 100% Sterling Silver Evening Bag is the kind of gift suitable for the royalty of ancient palaces! Using their traditional skills passed down through generations, the hill tribes of Northern Thailand have effectively hand-woven these quite extraordinary sterling silver evening bags.

Comes beautifully presented in its own gorgeous handmade gift box.

Due to the handmade nature of this product, slight variations in size and texture may occur. (H15cm, W13cm, D3.5cm, Strap Length 84 + 24cm)

Highland agricultural projects have replaced the cultivation of opium as an economic crop and as a result of the reforestation programme, forest cover has significantly increased. The village communities have ma
