ABOUT

Crowne Plaza Vientiane Gift Gallery, located on the ground floor of Crowne Plaza Vientiane, is a one-stop-shop for premiere products that are 100% made in Laos. The boutique will displays products from all over the countries from textiles to wooden handicraft items, and the hotel’s special Laos coffee blends.

One of the reasons behind this project is to bring the best of Laos’ product to the forefront of international clients and Vientiane local residents in order to create exposure to Lao’s products and at the same time, support local businesses around the country.

The Gift Gallery was developed by both Crowne Plaza Vientiane and Sandra Yuck from Caruso Lao who has over 50 years of merchandising experience globally.

“This is a very exciting time for the CPVTE as we have initiated a project that showcases the best of Laos. At a time like this, it is prudent for us to work with Local Entrepreneurs in order to propel their business forward which showcasing the amazing talent the country has to offer. As this is not the core expertise of the Hotel, we have partnered with Sandrina of Caruso Lao to curate the project and present a gallery that is world-class. My desire is for the gift Gallery to be known as a place where goers will see the best of Laos Craftsmanship and for us to be part in promoting greater causes.” Patria Puyat, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Vientiane.

“I am very excited about this unique Gift Gallery at the Crowne Plaza in Vientiane. My main goal with this project is to exhibit and further develop the unique aesthetic of the products that Lao artisans are capable of crafting by hand. Caruso Lao, after more than 20 years of experience spent on creating unique and internationally acclaimed crafts aims with this endeavour to heighten the skills and expertise level of the Lao artisan community. We aspire to bring to the global connoisseurs' attention the best of Laotian arts and crafts and create a desire to collect them.” Sandra Yuck - Caruso Lao Director/Designer
