Caruso Lao Home Craft

Montreal-born Sandra Yuck is one of Laos’ most acclaimed designers and her shop Caruso Lao, which has branches in Vientiene and Luang Prabang is a trove for homewares. Don’t expect bargain prices: the products are handmade by some of the country’s best carvers, silversmiths and weavers. The silks and embroidered wall hangings are clearly a large step above the rest on offer in Luang Prabang and the decorative objets in rare woods are gorgeous.
