20 colorful globes light up each gift set.
As featured in Time magazine!
Lisu Tribe sewers in Chiang Mai, Thailand create each globe, made from leftover rayon fabric string used by sewers for what is called serging (a sewing term). Sewers create the string globes to utilize every part of the leftover material, instead of letting any go to waste.Living in makeshift housing right by a train station, this group of Lisu Tribe sewers is eager to improve their destitute situation through the production of crafts.

Please note, the actual chord part was made in China and is not fairly traded, because this type of electrical part is not yet available in a fair trade version.
