Brie Blue
BrieBlue offers embroidered handbags, and handmade textiles from Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, and Laos. We purchase our items directly from the artists that make them. Our artists are located in Thailand, Vietnam, India, Laos Nepal, Indonesia, and Cambodia. All sales benefit the artists who make the items, thus directly impacting their families and communities.
BrieBlue continues to provide a market for indigenous artists from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, and Cambodia,
this year we traveled to the Thar desert of Rajasthan. This region was separated into Pakistan and India when released from
British control in 1947. As a result of this division families and communities were divided by religious and political boundaries. We
helped artists from the entire region bring products to market, and assisted a representative from the community to travel to the
United States in order to participate in shows in Dallas, New York, San Francisco, and Santa Fe.
All products are purchased directly from the artists in their home communities. Groups represented include Hmong, Dzao, Karen,
Sasak, as well as Hindu and Muslim artists from India. Approximately 50% of the sale price after shipping has been paid to the
artist. The remaining funds, minus the cost of airfare, are spent supporting local small businesses in the communities where we operate.
