Skip the cheap market imports and head here to see real-deal traditional weaving. Carol Cassidy’s workshop lets you watch artisans work on heavy floor looms, creating intricate ikat designs that take weeks to finish. It’s quiet, serious, and definitely not a souvenir trap. Spend 45 minutes browsing the showroom to appreciate the labor behind the prices. If you want a piece of authentic Lao craftsmanship that actually lasts, buy a scarf here and skip the night market.
