An Exquisite Oasis of Authentic Lao Silk Weaving

Stepping into Carol Cassidy Lao Textiles is like entering a hidden gem in the heart of Vientiane. Housed in a beautifully restored colonial villa surrounded by a tranquil garden, this place is not just a shop — it’s a living celebration of Lao craftsmanship and tradition.

Here, you’ll find genuine handwoven Lao silk of the highest quality — from elegant scarves to stunning textiles that carry generations of weaving knowledge. The artistry and detail in every piece are extraordinary, and it’s inspiring to know that this level of dedication and skill is still alive and thriving.

This is one of the rare places where you can see, feel, and truly appreciate real Lao weaving — not mass-produced imitations. A visit here is both aesthetically rewarding and culturally enriching. Highly recommended for anyone who values authenticity, beauty, and textile art...

An Unexpected Gem in Vientiane stumbled upon Carol Cassidy Laos Silk Textiles by chance, drawn by its lush garden and quiet beauty.

Each visit over three days revealed more of her genius: her support of Lao women, her influence in international design, and her humble mastery. This isn’t a tourist stop — it’s a living gallery of creativity and compassion....
