Maicome The art of authetic Lao silk Review

Maicome's silk products are unique and the quality of material and craftwork is unsurpassed. Skillful hands, and the combination of traditional patterns with modern designs and colours ensures that each and every piece of work is truly a work of art.

Maicome means 'golden silk.' Genuine gold and silver thread has been used for centuries for special ceremonial garments and for weddings. Maicome imports high quality 24 carat thread from France to produce intricate and durable Lao silk weaving. All items are hand-woven on traditional looms, using quality silk interwoven with gold and silver. Matmee (ikat) and other techniques are combined to offset each design.

Maicome started operations in 1995 in Vientiane, Lao PDR, to meet the growing demand for high quality silk weaving in the international marker. Its founder, Ms Jancome, has years of experience selecting patterns, materials, textures, and hues to complete the artistry of her products. Hand-woven silk is becoming rare as many businesses turn to machine looms. Maicome's philosophy ensures the survival of traditional Lao arts by preserving intricate designs and techniques, and by training young women to weave them.
