OUR STORY...
BLEND
OF OLD
& NEW
Urban Cotton is a social enterprise dedicated to protecting Lao handicraft skills by incorporating traditional art into contemporary style. We rely on modern market trends to influence our work with artisans, allowing them to continue using familiar techniques to produce items with sustainable appeal.
From Vientiane Capitol to the remote provinces of Laos, we are committed to being Lao owned and operated. Each of our makers share a voice in his or her personal development, the development of this business, and the development of our society. We believe these voices are critical to understanding one another's individual needs, as well as the needs of our communities.
Urban Cotton believes that safe work leads to safe families, and safe families lead to safe villages. We focus on creating opportunities for safe jobs so that we can also see safe families and safe villages emerge from the workplace.
