📍 A Peaceful Corner Preserving Lao Culture
Tucked away in a quiet lane near the center of Luang Prabang, Nalongkone Shop is more than just a store — it’s a cultural gem that keeps the tradition of Saa paper (mulberry paper) alive through beautiful, handmade crafts.
🧵 From Tree Bark to Art
Saa paper is made from the bark of the mulberry tree, processed through traditional steps: soaking, pounding, filtering, framing, and sun-drying. At Nalongkone, this humble paper becomes:
- Handmade greeting cards
- Artistic notebooks
- Saa paper lamps
- Envelopes, photo frames, bookmarks
Every piece is thoughtfully designed with pressed flowers, soft colors, and traditional Lao motifs — all made by hand with love.
💬 Stories from the Artist
The shop owner shared:
“We’re not just selling paper. We’re sharing part of our heritage. When visitors bring home a Saa paper card, they carry a piece of Luang Prabang with them.”
