A handcrafted 100% silk fabric, created by master weavers in Myanmar. This design honours heritage motifs from the Burmese Acheik textile tradition, with patterns dating back over a thousand years. The fabric is meticulously woven on a village frame loom in Sagaing State. The weaving process involves the use of 100 shuttles in an incredibly skilful technique, now practised by only a few remaining artisans. Turquoise Mountain is working to preserve and protect this extraordinary craft, and to celebrate the rich visual heritage of Acheik.

They are collaborating with women weavers across Myanmar’s ethnic groups, celebrating not only their exceptional craftsmanship but also their sense of community and identity. Their charitable mission helps these weavers earn a sustainable income and contributes to preserving Myanmar’s diverse textile traditions.
