    Noted for its gentle slopes and mild climates, the pristine valley of Tsirang is renowned for the rich biodiversity and its lhotsampa (Nepali origin) population. Tsirang is located along the Punatsangchu river in the southern part of Bhutan. The uniqueness of this district can be experienced if one visits the Old Market area, a spectacular array of similar structured houses that seems to have stood the test of time. After having witnessed decades of small business transactions among the local communities, the old market of Tsirang has given way to a bigger and better market but it still retains its past glory and a nostalgic attachment to those who grew up here.

    Pema Choeki is a young woman weaver of Brokpa heritage. Her passion started when Pema once decided that she needed a better cushion to sit on. Traditionally made from yak skin, she decided that “yak skin is dirty” and that she needed a better material. As any clever innovator would, Pema set out to identify what readily available resource she could utilize for her invention. She began “harvesting” plastic with her mother and other family members.
