Greeting Card - Myanmar Life: Thu nge chin

Our hand-cut card series features iconic scenes of everyday Myanmar life. They make stunning cards to give as a gifts or keep for yourself and frame!

Even today, women in Myanmar, for reasons of safety and companionship, will seldom travel alone. Thu nge chin in Burmese means 'friend' and this is a quintessential scene of two friends in traditional longhis, carrying baskets with their lunchboxes and sharing an umbrella to keep out of the hot sun, on the way to work.

Each card in our hand-cut range is combined with a piece of traditional textile to bring the design to life. The paper insert is left blank for you to write your own special message and it comes with a handmade recycled paper envelope.

The inclusion of the artisan's name in the card reminds us how this product is providing work for people with disabilities.

All cards are 18cm x 12cm.

We use a wide variety of locally sourced textiles across a broad colour palette. And  because each card is individually made, the specific pattern may differ from the displayed photo due to fabric availability.
