🧶 Ock Pop Tok – Where Lao Culture Is Woven by Hand

📍 Luang Prabang – Where Threads Tell Stories

Perched on the banks of the Mekong River, Ock Pop Tok (meaning “East Meets West” or “Exchange of Ideas” in Lao) is more than just a shop — it’s a vibrant cultural space that celebrates traditional Lao textiles and craftsmanship.

👘 More Than Just a Boutique

Ock Pop Tok is a beautifully designed complex that includes:

• Weaving Studio – where skilled Lao artisans work on traditional looms
• Boutique Shop – featuring silk scarves, bags, home decor, and more
• Riverside Café – relax with coffee and Mekong views
• Heritage Exhibit Room – showcasing the weaving traditions of ethnic groups across Laos
• Hands-on Workshops – where visitors can learn to weave, dye with natural indigo, or even make Saa paper

🎨 A Living Art

Every piece made at Ock Pop Tok tells a story — about heritage, community, and the quiet strength of Lao women. The center works with artisans from diverse ethnic backgrounds such as the Lao Loum, Hmong, and Khmu, promoting fair trade and sustainable income for local communities.
