Learning to Embroider in Luang Prabang

Hand embroidery in Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang, Laos

There’s something special about slowing down and learning a craft by hand while traveling.🌏

I learned how to embroider collar pieces—starting with a simple up-and-down stitch, one strand at a time.

The girls here learned at a young age, creating each piece with so much care and patience. It may look simple, but every detail takes time and focus.

This is how the craft is passed down—keeping tradition alive, one stitch at a time.

Grateful for the experience and the reminder that beauty takes time.❤️
