What role does weaving play in Karen marriages? | Worn Within

Clothing is closely related to a man or woman's marital status in Karen culture. Girls are often taught how to weave at age 7 or 8 by their mothers or grandmothers. Susan learns the meaning behind Karen weaving.
From the craft, to the textile, to finishing touches, and even to the customs that come with it, our traditional clothing reflects our cultural identity. Worn Within explores the stories and people behind our traditional clothing.

English people need to be better at translating Karen words cause they keep adding random -ng or -hz in our words that don’t have them.
