What many people unfortunately don't know:
Laos is the most bombed country in the world.
During the Vietnam War, Laos was actually just an uninvolved neighbor of Vietnam.
However, the North Vietnamese used Laos' territory to invade South Vietnam.
Unfortunately, the Americans showed no consideration for Laos and dropped bombs without end
- from 1964 to 1973, over 2,000,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Laos
→ on average, a bomb fell on Laos every 9 minutes.
An incredibly sad story, for which the US has unfortunately shown no responsibility towards Laos to this day. In many parts of Laos, it is still very dangerous today due to many unexploded bombs, as approximately 30% of the bombs dropped at that time did not explode.
In keeping with their mentality, the Laotians use the bomb remnants they find to make something good out of them.
By selling these products, I am trying to convey precisely this story.
These unique pieces are therefore made from metal salvaged from former war remnants (UXO),
which is collected in Laos, processed, and turned into high-quality accessories.
What was once destructive material has now become a symbol of peace.
Each product tells the story of an extraordinary transformation:
Fragments of past conflicts are turned into durable pieces of jewelry.
The collection includes various versions made from recycled bomb metal.
These products represent rebuilding, strength, and positive change.
