Let’s talk about how we appreciate the culture and adore amazing and talented indigenous people.
I have so much respect for indigenous people, tribes and old people. They are part of our history that represents the life of yesterday.
There is so much to discover, to explore and to understand past life history. But today I’m about to share my view about creative handcraft.
We all knew about LV the famous Louis Vuitton from Paris. And most of the woman adore and admire this brand name.
The style, how sophisticated and elegant this bag when you have this. Everybody knows the color, the style and the trademark of this brand. And because this is very famous even replica is scattered in some shop out there to pirate and sell to those middle-class people.
On the other part because of the fame of this brand some addicted women use it as their lifestyle status. Which mean if you have this bag means you’re wealthy and belong to elite people. Because of the expensive price for sure and not everyone can afford Louis Vuitton.
Some are bragging this when they have it, some group of women competes with each other having the latest and most expensive they collected. I’m not against with Louis Vuitton I'm amazed about it because this brand is so powerful because of the great designer, the quality materials how it was made, the fame how it was patronizing from Europe and now from all over the world and most of all by Fashion media.
By focusing on this threading subject, we forgot those existing and creative indigenous people who can also create amazing things and craft. In which they can also create a nice, helpful and creative fashionably stylish bag, clothes, colorful fabric and etc.
Modernization and commercialization lifestyle is already affected by traditional art and lifestyle. In which we need also to appreciate, support and preserve this local weaving, crafting and cultural handicraft.
I guess we need more people to patronize, encourage and also showcasing the beauty of this kind of artwork and creation by those women who make an effort and extra skills making this amazing art creation.
The design of every item they made is the reflection of their culture, behavior, love and hard work. And doing these craft is a livelihood for them. By patronizing their works is showing the support for this traditional activity and also helping them to support their family.
It’s totally amazing how they made by rattan, pineapple leaf, plant fiber, woods and many native resources. Creating a great vibrant color, nice stylish bag and quality made. Woven Bag and Louis Vuitton is the same bag there’s no difference if you need a useful thing to carry your things.
It’s ok to buy Louis Vuitton if you can afford it but we should also not to forgot amazing craft made by veterans indigenous people and appreciate the ART they created because patronizing them express our love and gratitude loving our own and continue the tradition in our generation.
