Villages of this colourful ethnic group are originally from southwest China. They can be found in China, India, Myanmar. A few drifted into North Thailand from Burma [ Kengtung ] and can now be found at Fang, Mae Hong Son, Sukhothai Tak, Khampaeng Phet, Phayao, Lampang and Chiang Rai. Lisu’s women wear brightly colored blue or green colored striped tunics, split up the sides to the waist, a wide black belt and blue or green pants.

More about Rocker lether cuffs

Assortment leather cuffs




Leather cuffs have been around since ancient times when warriors would adorn themselves with leather to provide a light armor for their wrists and forearms. Modern day Leather cuffs are much more stylish and are obviously meant for fashion as opposed to protection. They do still evoke a more romantic era as they appeal to our primal side of fashion sense.
The leather makes us look and feel tougher and sexier. Whether your fashion statement is woven leather bands, patterns or leather with metal accents, the cuffs will make you stand out in the crowd. Can you imagine Conan the Barbarian without his leather cuffs on? Absolutely not! They make him a bit more rugged and believable. The same is true of the modern day Rock star. The leather and metal studs complete the ensemble for the rock star.
The organic and natural aspect of this fashion piece is another appeal. The leather will mold to your arm and soften with time until it feels like it is an extension of your body. It is a perfect compliment to any outfit that is a bit edgy and trendy.

Accessories Trend

Some ideas of leather cuffs in different styles


Speaking of accessories trend, I just want to pick up some style that I’ve seen on the fashion show runway which is “Leather cuffs”. Leather cuffs remind me of Rocker style. But I think leather cuffs can mix and match with different styles of clothing, not just only Rocker or heavy metal style. Leather accessories tend to use for matching with leather jacket for this coming fall.
