Founded in 2000 by Englishwoman Joanna (Jo) Smith and Laotian Veomanee (Veo) Douangdala, Ock Pop Tok is an artisan social enterprise based in Luang Prabang, Laos.

We believe culture is dynamic, and as such innovation in pattern, colour and functionality is important to keep textile traditions culturally and commercially viable. Our products are made using the finest, locally sourced natural and organic raw materials.
Ock Pop Tok (meaning “East Meets West” in Lao) was founded on the principles of fair trade and sustainable business practices. The company was pioneering social business and ethical fashion before these terms were even a part of our cultural lexicon.
Created by women, run by women for the women of Laos. We started as a small team and five weavers. Now, 20 years later, we’re working toward our mission with more than 500 artisans throughout Laos.
20 years ago, Jo and Veo, Ock Pop Tok’s co-founders, embarked on a journey to northern Laos. The trip was sparked by a desire to find the maker of an exquisite textile that a trader brought to Luang Prabang to sell. This is how the Village Weavers Project was born.
Alongside our Master Weavers and experienced teachers, learn more about the textiles and traditional crafts of Laos. Try your hand at silk weaving, natural dyeing, batik drawing and bamboo weaving and bring home a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
Set in lush tropical gardens and located on the banks of the Mekong, the Living Crafts Center is the perfect place to learn more about the fascinating world of Lao textiles and handicrafts. The Centre brings the concept of “East Meets West” alive.
