Hi, I’m Che and I’m part of a group of 96 artisans in the northern highlands of Vietnam who make hand-embroidered textiles in collaboration with Ethnotek. Hmong women make only 2 tribal skirts per year and it’s our favorite hobby that we do during breaks from our agricultural work. This craft is our heritage that we’re proud to protect and is fun to make because we often socialize, laugh, and joke with each other while creating it. Your tips will be split amongst our female-led co-op every month in proportion to the amount of tribal skirts each woman delivers. Thank you for helping our craft and sharing our story.

Add a tip to support artisans like Che.

Customize your backpack with Threads™

All Raja backpacks can be customized via the removable front panel, called Thread™. Each Thread™ is created from handmade textiles that are sourced in person and purchased directly from the artisan or craft village in which they were created.

One bag, many stories

We are continually scouring the globe to find textiles that embody the vibrancy and beauty of the people who create them and the traditions they represent. We release new Threads™ regularly, allowing you to update the look of your bag without having to buy a new one entirely. This puts a whole new meaning to changing your threads!

Traditional & handmade textiles

Our shared mission is to celebrate cultural diversity and give local craftsmanship the global stage. It's a great honor that the artisan entrepreneurs of the motifs value the Ethnotek brand equally and that we are allowed to use their traditional handmade textiles in functional bags and backpacks.

Every Thread™ is truly unique

All artisan textiles are handmade using traditional production techniques and materials. Our backpacks and bags are therefore as unique as the wearer. A 100% accurate reproduction of each unique item is therefore not easily possible in our online store. The Vietnam 5 and 6 patterns, for example, show particularly diverse and beautiful variations.
