"Ancestral Advocacy" Large Organic Tote Bag

Wear Your Culture. Carry a Cause. Support the Arts.
The plumeria—or dok champa—is more than a flower. It’s a symbol of sincerity, renewal, and joy that holds deep cultural meaning for the Lao community. Rooted in tradition and resilience, this flower represents the heart of a people who continue to blossom across generations and borders.

This timeless design, featured on our premium tote bags, shirts, and hoodies, is more than just beautiful—it's meaningful. Every purchase directly supports Dok Kulap Sinlapakorn, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Lao performing arts, empowering youth, and amplifying community voices through cultural storytelling and education.

Your support also uplifts the talented artist Aël da Silva, whose creative work breathes life into this design. As a passionate advocate for cross-cultural collaboration, Aël brings depth, artistry, and care to every project—helping us share our cultural narrative with beauty and intention.

This collection is about connection—between generations, between cultures, between hearts.

Rooted in tradition. Powered by purpose. Worn with pride.
