It is woven using the “Brettchen” technique, one of the oldest Tibetan weaving methods, traditionally used for belts, carrying straps, and bridles; in this tradition, the geometric patterns are considered auspicious. The loop is connected via a carabiner to a thin adapter plate, which slides between the phone and the case and can be detached at any time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ribbons are made in a weavers' cooperative in the village of Tsoten in the Tibetan highlands. Since 2019, CHARU has been working there with former herders to preserve strip weaving as a source of income.
